STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Joe Moorhead helped turn around a fledgling UConn and an underachieving FCS program at Fordham. Now he’s faced with another big test -- improving the Penn State Nittany Lions' struggling offense.
Moorhead was named Penn State's new offensive coordinator on Saturday, after he informed his Fordham team of his decision. Penn State quarterbacks coach Ricky Rahne will still call the plays in the bowl game, but Moorhead will start evaluating personnel in preparation for next season.
“It is an unbelievable opportunity to help contribute to a program with a rich tradition and promising future,” Moorhead said in a statement.
