Cory Moore is going home. Returning to his alma mater, Moore was named head football coach at St. Petersburg, Florida

"It's a dream come true," said Moore, 32. "The opportunity to come back to the school where I played and to be the head coach. It's a great school with so much history."

The decision came down to Moore, Gibbs assistant Dave Cleppe and Largo assistant Jeremy Frioud, according to Turner.
