Does he spend a lot of time around the showers?

 

[Predestined]

We get moor-head!

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Never has coached or played in the south. Recruiting ties and connections are huge.

I’m not a big Pruitt fan but at least he already has those recruiting connections in MS, LA, AL and FL

I don't know much about this guy but they have put up some impressive numbers. Definitely not the ol' Big 10 four yards and a cloud of dust.

They ride Barkley though, and he’s an exceptional talent. Wonder how they would do without him.

He hasn't done a whole lot lately, save one big game 2 weeks ago. He went from Heisman front runner to completely out of the running. He's only gone over 100 yards 4 times this season in 12 games.

Moorehead has put up very good offenses everywhere he has been. Not just PSU. Also a good record as a HC at Fordham.

That’s a pretty good article. Kinda sold me on the guy.

Can’t argue with that guy’s results, hadn’t heard of him prior to this thread. He’d have a recruiting disadvantage initially, compared to someone with existing connections like Pruitt. But we’d be likely to have a solid offense as long as he is head coach.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

Hard Pass. Can’t see him being a good recruiter down here and he doesn’t exactly make me excited. It’s very Meh.

 

[vandaldawg]

Beat me to it. Feels like the kind of choice that ends up looking like genius after the fact. **** I kind of like it.

My thoughts too. Offensive minded coach with HC experience and has coached on the big stage. I love what is in the article about his offense though- sounds like a top flight OC. He’s probably going to be a very successful head coach somewhere in the future.

That said, my only question would be the fit- both culturally and how would he recruit down here? I don’t give a damn about how he mingles with the GOB boosters, but the head coach must relate to the players and croots. It’s the same questions that Mullen had and I don’t think ever fully got past. That’s Pruitt’s biggest advantage.

Another QB Whisperer

"Moorhead came to Penn State from a highly successful run as head coach at FCS Fordham, and is credited much of Penn State's offensive surge, and the remarkable development of sophomore quarterback Trace McSorley this season."

I like the idea that he's been a head coach and his teams put up a ton of points
