More on Mo

A good article written in today's Indy Star about the recent hire of Mo Moriarity as offensive line coach. Link

Here are some of the highlights:

Moriarity, 54, was an assistant at IU under coach Gerry DiNardo from 2002-04.
"It's bittersweet," he said after informing his incoming team and the Carmel administration. "It's never easy leaving. This is one of the best high school football jobs in the Midwest, but the opportunity to coach at Indiana was something I couldn't pass up."


Moriarity has a long-standing friendship with IU coach Bill Lynch and said he considered getting back into the college game when he was approached by another friend in the college ranks. Though that situation didn't work out, Moriarity said the idea of coaching at that level again appealed to him.
His deep roots in Indiana high school football -- he coached at Bloomington South for 15 years before going to IU the first time -- figure to be an advantage in recruiting.
"I like recruiting," Moriarity said. "It's a little change-up from the season and I enjoy spending time watching players and talking to high school coaches about kids. A lot of the relationships I've made over the years, I'm going to be able to keep."
