Doug Marrone and the Buffalo Bills have hired Rob Moore to be their wide receivers coach.  Moore had been the wide receivers coach at Syracuse under Marrone before he went to the NFL and the Bills.  Now, he is bringing the wide receivers coach and former Orange wide receiver up with him.

Moore played a  10 year career in the NFL with the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals.  He caught 628 passes in his career for 9,368 yards and 49 touchdowns.  After finishing his career, he waited until 2009 to enter the coaching side of the, starting with the Phoenix College Bears, presumably right near his home out in Arizona.

After a year of getting a taste for it, Moore went back to his alma mater and coached there three seasons.  Now, he goes up to the NFL and the Bills where he will be able to work with Stevie Johnson, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin and T.J. Graham.  The Bills need to get more production out of their offense this year and the passing game with these receivers and E.J. Manuel will be key.
