Moyle attended Yale University, where he played football as an end.[2] He graduated in 1891,[3] and then took over as the head football coach at Lafayette College. Moyle served in that position for two years and amassed a record of 7–16–1.[4] In 1893, Moyle became the first "all-season head coach" at Dartmouth College and posted a 9–7 record during his two-year tenure.[5] The Indians' losses to Harvard, 16–0, and Yale, 28–0, were seen as evidence of improvement under Moyle.[5] By comparison, Yale had routed Dartmouth, 113–0, in 1884, which marked the beginning of the so-called "Yale jinx".[5] Dartmouth was awarded the Triangular Football Conference championship in both years of Moyle's tenure.[6] In 1895, Moyle moved on to Brown University, where he amassed an 18–15–2 record over three years as head coach.[4]
