ALTOONA, Pa. -- One day after one of the most important Penn State assistant coaches of the James Franklin era, Brent Pry, landed a great head coaching job at Virginia Tech, perhaps the most important assistant coach in recent years also has landed a head coaching job.
This one, however, doesn't make as much sense.
Joe Moorhead is close to being named the new head coach at Akron.
The same Moorhead who helped Penn State win the 2016 Big Ten title as offensive coordinator before becoming head coach at Mississippi State and then offensive coordinator at Oregon.
