Listen Later

On today’s episode, we sit down with Aaron Taylor to learn more about the Joe Moore Award, the only college football award that honors a group instead of an individual.

Aaron Taylor played for Joe Moore at the University of Notre Dame. Taylor was a two-time All-American and a first round pick in the 1994 NFL Draft. He played professionally for the Green Bay Packers and the San Diego Chargers.

Taylor currently works as a college football analyst, television sportscaster, and he is the founder of the Joe Moore Award. He shares all the details behind this award, and through hearing about Joe Moore and his methods, we learn of the impact that elite coaching makes.

Whether you are an offensive line coach or not, there is plenty to take away for what it takes to be an impactful coach.
