After two seasons with the Oregon Ducks Offensive Coordinator Joe Moorhead is leaving the program to become the next head coach for the University of Akron, a team which Moorhead was a part of from 2004 to 2008 in various coaching positions including OC/QB coach.
During Moorhead’s time at the UO, the Ducks reached back-to-back PAC-12 Championship games: one a dominating victory over the USC Trojans, the other a humiliating loss to the Utah Utes. Oregon has compiled a 14-6 record in the last two seasons and the overall reaction to Moorhead’s system has been a mixed bag.
