Mississippi State is considering a change at its head coaching position, sources told Sports Illustrated on Thursday night. School officials have been in deep discussion about coach Joe Moorhead’s future since the 38-28 loss to Louisville in the Music City Bowl in Nashville. A decision has not been officially made, but many signs point to the program soon parting ways with the second-year coach, a stunning and rare move so late in the offseason and so early in Moorhead’s tenure.
Mississippi State begins the spring semester Monday, and Moorhead, the 46-year-old former Penn State offensive coordinator, just completed his second season in Starkville.
