Moore and Carr both had outstanding collegiate careers. Moore was a four-year starter at Boise State between 2008 and 2011. His record as starter was 50-3, an NCAA record. In the process, he'd complete 69.8% of his throws for 14,667 yards with 142 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr will be pleased to have an offensive-minded head coach, but there might be some initial awkwardness between himself and Kellen Moore.

“Fun historical fact: New Saints coach Kellen Moore and QB Derek Carr met once in college as starting QBs — with No. 5 Boise St. blowing out Fresno St., 57-7 in 2011. Moore had 254 passing yards and 3 TDs, Carr had 126 and an INT, the second largest loss for Carr at any level,” Ian Rapoport of NFL Network shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
