Bernie Moore was a legendary sports figure during his long tenure as head coach of both football and track & field at LSU.

Moore was the son of a Baptist minister, which seemed to influence his sports philosophy. As his College Football Hall of Fame bio states. he was "a man of morals and mayhem."^[1] While demanding a high level of sportsmanship from his players, he also called for a hard-nosed, physical style of play from them at all times.

In addition to 2 SEC titles in football, his track & field teams won 12 SEC titles and the national championship in 1933. LSU's Bernie Moore Track Stadium is named in his honour.

After ending his tenure at LSU (the longest of any coach at the school to that point). Moore became SEC Commissioner in 1947. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1966. His last residence was the Henderson Clark-Moore House [1] in Winchester, Tennessee.
