The Akron Zips might not have won a lot in 2022, but they were certainly a lot more competitive in their first campaign with former Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead at the helm.
It was an effort which was reportedly rewarded with a one-year extension on Monday afternoon, extending his current deal to the 2027 season. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The extension was reportedly reached after Moorhead’s name was attached to a number of jobs in both the Power Five and NFL spaces, with CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah reporting interest from “countless” suitors, including Notre Dame and the Baltimore Ravens, to be an offensive coordinator.
