Several sources have reported the hire, but it started with Brett McMurphy from Stadium. Moorhead brings with him a lot of experience. He helped turn around a Penn State program in 2016 and 2017 doubling their offensive output from 20 points a game before he arrived to over 40 points a game when he left at the end of 2017. He took the coaches stepping stone to Head Coach at Mississippi State.
In his two seasons there he was 14-12 and 5-7 this past season before he was let go. With Oregon Football he will have a chance to reset and restart with a program that is clearly in an upward trajectory with what Marcus Arroyo has left behind.
