On November 28, 2017, Penn State Offensive Coordinator Joe Moorhead was hired as the next head coach for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. This will be Moorhead’s first head coaching job since he left the Fordham Rams of the FCS, which was also his alma mater. Moorhead is bringing with him something that will take Mississippi State to a level it hasn’t seen often: national powerhouse.
Now that I’ve grabbed your attention, let me tell you why.
Moorhead is bringing an offense that the SEC doesn’t see often. The numbers do not lie about that. There seems to be a revolutionary approach towards offensive schemes and plays that younger coaches like Lincoln Riley and Moorhead are bringing to the game.
