Travis Moore (born August 5, 1970) is an American former professional football player and coach. He was most recently the receivers coach for the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Moore has also been a coach for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, BC Lions, Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders.

He also played in the one and only XFL season as a wide receiver for the San Francisco Demons team that competed in the league's championship game.

Coaching career

On November 1, 2022, after a disappointing season, the Riders announced they would not be renewing Moore's contract, along with three other offensive coaches. On December 21, 2022, the Redblacks announced that Moore would rejoin Ottawa for the 2023 season as the team's receivers and pass game coordinator coach. Moore had previously been a member of the Redblacks' coaching staff from 2014 to 2017. On May 8, 2025, it was announced that Moore had resigned for personal reasons.

Political involvement

In February 2022, Moore donated US$17,760 to the Canada convoy protest through their GiveSendGo campaign.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Travis Moore” as player of American and Canadian football. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Travis, Moore and player.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1970, 1998, 2001, 2022—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1970-08-05. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Travis, Moore and player providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Travis Moore”, the useful work is to connect “player of American and Canadian football” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7836330. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970, 1998, 2001 and 2022.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
