Penn State named Kirk Ciarrocca its new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on Thursday. Ciarrocca had been the offensive coordinator at Minnesota for the past three seasons under P.J. Fleck.
"We couldn't be more excited to bring in someone of Kirk's caliber to our Penn State football family," head coach James Franklin said in a statement. "He is a veteran coordinator who also has deep Pennsylvania roots and ties. His most recent successes as an offensive coordinator caught our eye. What impressed me most about Kirk in the hiring process was his humility and his willingness to make this an easy transition for our players.
