Penn State has a new special teams coordinator less than a week after Phil Galiano’s departure.
Joe Lorig will take over the Nittany Lions’ special teams and serve as a defensive assistant, the program announced Thursday. Lorig, who was recently hired at Texas Tech, brings two decades of experience to the position.
“We are looking forward to having Joe join our staff,” Penn State head coach James Franklin said in a written statement. “We conducted a comprehensive study of special teams coordinators across the country to find the best fit for our staff and identified Joe as the best candidate.
