RALEIGH, N.C. - Appalachian State University football head coach Jerry Moore was one of six legendary sports figures inducted in the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday evening at the North Raleigh Hilton.

Moore was enshrined along with former NC State football standout and North Carolina A&T director of athletics Willie Burden, North Carolina women's basketball head coach Sylvia Hatchell, former East Carolina, Wake Forest and South Carolina men's basketball head coach Dave Odom, Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford and professional golfer Roger Watson.

The winningest football coach in ASU and Southern Conference history, Moore is 178-73 in 20 seasons at Appalachian and 205-121-2 in 27 years as a head coach, which includes stints at North Texas (1979-80) and Texas Tech (1981-85). He is one of only four active NCAA Division I FCS head coaches with 200 career victories and ranks 23rd among all NCAA Division I coaches (FCS or FBS) in all-time victories.

Ole Jerry is one of the mysteries of life.

Once he transcended his Nebraska background and developed his own offensive style, he became an effective coach. He grew as a coach over time. Too bad it didn't happen while he was here.

Yes, he reduced a very good 9-2 returning Hayden Fry team to 5-6 in his first year with his Nebraska-I offense. Glad the light finally came on for him to develop a passing offense.

He went 5-6. Then 6-5 and got the call from TTech. And he took one of our better defensive backs with him.

I had a bitter feeling about him when he left, but I'm glad things have gone well for him.
