But Highlanders chief executive Richard Reid, although admitting the season has been disappointing, believes Moore is not going anywhere soon.
Ultimately any decision on Moore's future will come from Wellington, and the New Zealand Rugby Union bosses.
The Highlanders suffered a disappointing 41-27 loss to the lowly Force in Queenstown on Saturday, and now head into the bye week with a record of two wins from nine games to be 11th on the table.
This season was supposed to be the one where the Highlanders delivered on their potential tag and a top-six finish at the least was hoped for.
But it has not eventuated and, although Moore's contract runs until the end of next season, his future may come under the spotlight after a poor few weeks by the side.
He has a mid-season review coming during the bye week, which is a part of the annual process carried out by the New Zealand Rugby Union.
Reid said yesterday the review involved a couple of NZRU board members and union high performance manager Mike Chu reviewing the season so far with the coaching team and others.
Reid said as the coaches and players were employees of the New Zealand Rugby Union, it would be up to that body to make any changes.
He confirmed Moore would be there for the rest of this season, and said any change was just speculation.
A full end-of-season review of coaches would be completed in June, after player reviews were finished.
Reid conceded it had been a disappointing season, and not what was envisaged.
"It's obviously not what we hoped for at the start of the season. I wouldn't be alone in that. It has just been disappointing.
"We've managed to keep players together for three years and year three was supposed to be in the top half of the table. But that looks unlikely now," Reid said.
With the New Zealand Rugby Union financially underwriting the franchise for the next two seasons, the NZRU may not hesitate to put a clean sweep through the coaching side, as it looks for a way for the side to get success.
Moore on Saturday said the next four games were obviously tough but the team could win and had done so before in a similar situation.
Injuries have not helped the cause, with fullback Israel Dagg the latest to go down.
Moore said basic tackling errors cost his side in the dying stages on Saturday.
Saturday's game was even for most of the 80 minutes on the scoreboard although the Force had the majority of possession and territory.
But in the final 10 minutes the Highlanders defence parted and the Force scored three quick tries.
The Highlanders had a couple of chances but, in what is becoming a trend, could not take them in the first half.
Poor discipline did not help - captain Jimmy Cowan was yellow-carded after he tried to slyly take the ball out of a Force player's hand from a clearly offside position.
A crowd of 5800 turned up in Queenstown on a beautiful clear day, down on previous crowd attendances.
It may lead to the franchise questioning the worth of going to the resort.
It was the third time the side had gone to Queenstown and come up with a loss and the crowd has halved over that time.
There were 11,000 in 2007, and 8000 in 2008.
