Tom Moore has been coaching in the NFL for nearly five decades, and at the age of 86, he disclosed on Tuesday that the 2024 season will not mark his final year. Currently serving as an offensive consultant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Moore’s illustrious career includes being part of four Super Bowl-winning coaching staffs over 48 years in the league.
Moore has been with the Buccaneers since 2019, contributing to one of the league’s most effective offenses during that time. Despite Tom Brady’s departure, Baker Mayfield has adeptly stepped in to maintain the team’s offensive production. While the true extent of Moore’s influence on Mayfield’s performance remains known only to those in the Buccaneers locker room, his impressive track record as an NFL coach and offensive strategist suggests he has a knack for turning opportunities into success. Clearly, Moore’s continued commitment to coaching indicates his belief in Mayfield and the Buccaneers’ future potential.
As the Buccaneers look ahead, they need to discover ways to advance when it matters most. Over the last two seasons, with Mayfield at the helm, the Bucs have reached the postseason, yet both attempts have fallen short of Super Bowl glory. Perhaps Moore can extract even more from Mayfield, enabling the Buccaneers to exceed expectations. Fans of the Bucs are certainly hoping for this outcome, as it would give Moore one last shot at a Super Bowl before closing the chapter on his legendary coaching career.
