Mississippi State has fired head coach Joe Moorhead, Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger confirmed.
According to Dellenger, athletic director John Cohen was "set to deliver the news to the coach in a meeting this morning."
Moorhead lasted only 26 games in Starkville. Mississippi State hired him in November 2017 after coach Dan Mullen left to go to Florida. The team went 8–5 and become bowl eligible to play Iowa in the Outback Bowl during his debut season. However, Mississippi State went 6–7 in 2019. The Bulldogs struggled early in the season and lost four straight conference games before snapping their skid with a 54–24 win over Arkansas on Nov.
