Joe Moorhead Named Penn State's Next Offensive Coordinator

The Pittsburgh native is coming back to Pennsylvania to replace John Donovan.

Penn State has found the dynamic offensive mind to replace John Donovan: Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead. The hiring was first reported early on Saturday morning by Penn State student Tyler Feldman, and has been corroborated by a number of people, including FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman (no relation, as far as we know).

Moorhead comes by way of Fordham, but for the 42-year-old, this is a homecoming of sorts. He went to high school at Central Catholic in Pittsburgh, giving Franklin another highly-regarded coach whose ties to the talent-rich WPIAL could be beneficial for the Nittany Lions in recruiting.
