As Missouri begins their preparations for their bowl game against Virginia, it looks like they'll be without their offensive coordinator for some of it.
Greg Woods of the Spokesman Review reports that Mizzou OC Kirby Moore has arrived at the Pullman, WA airport, presumably to interview for the head coach opening at Washington State.

WSU turns to Mizzou OC Moore for potential head coach job
WSU lost their head man Jimmy Rogers to Iowa State, and are now deep into the process of finding their next coach. While multiple names have been reported to be candidates for the job, this is the first time that Moore has seemingly tossed his hat into the ring.
Moore, who joined the Tigers in 2023, also coaches quarterbacks, and was responsible for the development of current New York Jet Brady Cook. While injuries to Beau Pribula derailed part of the 2025 season, the Tigers still finished with the sixth-ranked offense in the SEC.
Moore also has ties to the Washington area, as he attended high school in Prosser, WA, just a few hours west of Pullman. Moore also was a graduate assistant at the University of Washington for one season. So, if the Cougars are looking for a local guy to help with recruiting, Moore makes for an obvious choice.
If the Tigers lose Moore to WSU it would be a crushing blow to the Mizzou offense, potentially even setting off unforseen trasnfers. Still, as of now, nothing is concrete, and there's always the chance the Moore retains his position in Columbia.
