On Saturday, Joe Moorhead was announced as Penn State’s new offensive coordinator. Moorhead joins James Franklin’s staff after spending the previous four seasons as the head coach at Fordham University. While at Fordham, he took a Rams team that was 1-10 the season before he got there and guided them to three straight appearances in the FCS playoffs. This is a very good hire by James Franklin, in my opinion.
The 42-year-old Moorhead is a Pennsylvania native. Moorhead hails from Pittsburgh, and is a graduate of Pittsburgh Central Catholic High School. Moorhead is a graduate of Fordham University, where he played quarterback for the Rams from 1992-1995.
