Moorehead to Temple?
- Thread starter jppsu
- Start date
I don't believe he is going anywhere. It won't look good and he likely won't get a very good offer.
Temple would be a bad move. He's going from OC of PSU to HC of Temple. That's a step down.

Does Temple have the type quarterback he needs to run his offense? Does he want to go to Temple?
He's got bigger fish to fry. At PSU near term and possibly elsewhere in a couple years. I think he may stay long term. Does he really want the recruiting frenzy of a HC?
Temple is just a stepping stone for a up and coming coach...Cant see considering leaving PSU for that position when this program is doing whats it doing.

Absolute minimum standard for a trolling post

Didn't we see a report that he interviewed for the Purdue job? Until I see otherwise, it looks like he wants back in as a HC.
When you have a great staff, you're going to have turnover.
We were never used to that - get used to it now.

yes, but he's not the only one on the staff who would be considered IF there was ever a need
If Moorhead did leave my next call would be to his Fordham replacement, Andrew Breiner. He is a Moorhead disciple and Fordham had the top QB and RB in the league. They averaged about 37.7 pts. per game. Breiner is a Loch Haven (correction) grad and a Pennsylvania boy too.

If Franklin is a great coach, then he will eliminate turnovers.
Yes as some of us are stuck in 1975.
2016...ooops.Back in the day PSU ACs had gone on to HC positions - - - - - most of the more recent ones where to places like Temple (Dickerson) [EDIT: Mea Culpa. Dickerson went from PSU AC, to a two-year stint as a DC at Clemson, before taking over the HC job] and Rutgers (Anderson) - waaaaay before Rutgers even dreamed of being in a P5 conference
But there were some who had more legit solicitations - - - Wake Forest (Caldwell) etc.
Even when Welsh went to Navy - Navy wasn't that far removed from being a big-time player......and he got them back to being a bowl team (back when that meant something) in short order.
Ganter was offered the MSU job in 1995 (a damn nice offer - incredible offer, actually - for a guy with no HC experience)
Other guys left for very nice jobs - guys like Radocovitch (sp) to the Steelers (IIRC) etc
Those guys were replaced.....and the beat went on.
If folks from the current staff find they are getting opportunities at HC positions at legit programs....that is the BEST you can hope for ('cause ain't hardly no AC - unless they are in "I'm about to retire" mode - that isn't going to entertain even "meh" head coaching opportunities - - - - let alone a P5 job)
.
And, if that happens, you're going to lose most of those guys (guys who get HC opportunities at legit programs).
Better to go find the next great coach, than to not have guys who other legit programs want.
When you start to worry, is when you have a staff full of guys who NEVER GET "upward" offers (Co-ordinators getting HC offers, ACs getting Co-ordinator offers).
That's when you need to start worrying.
Now.....a place like PSU losing a HEAD COACH (that they would like to keep) to any other program? That's another issue
Or losing guys to lateral (at best) jobs - like the Shooper - that's the kind of stuff you don't want to see.
I'm sure Urby didn't lose any sleep over Ash moving on (though I wonder if Ash has?) or even Jim Herman (who I am sure he would have liked to have kept)....just hire the next good one.

I think Moorhead's accomplishments this year will put him in position for a better job, not this year but maybe next. Not sure that Baylor is a great job, but Rhule was smart to ride out this year with a strong qb, rather than leaving after last season. Moorhead has Saquon, Trace and most other weapons back next year. Schedule is favorable and a talented team. He'll be smart to stay at least one more year.
Moorhead may move on to a HC job, but it won't be to anyone in the American Conference. If he hangs in there, he will be in a power 5 conference with a head coaching gig. Temple and the MAC are for people to get HC experience, Moorhead already has that.
When it will happen? I dunno, but he can afford to very selective.

BTW guys...this poster is a troll you know. He was also saying Franklin to Oregon just a few weeks back. It's hard being a Pitt fan and what is funny is these are the same guys who said Franklin couldn't coach a few years back. Funny thing is Matt Canada who carried Nard Dick this year may actually get some calls himself.
I don't think Moorhead is going to Temple....or anywhere this year short of 3+million per year offer. Canada is a good candidate. I think Moorhead needs to see a 1 million dollar contract at PSU and he's happy for now. I think his family is happy in SC.
Would think that Moorhead could use PSU as a huge launching pad if he can repeat his 2016 performance in 2017 and/or 2018. If he can string together 2-3 seasons of 30 plus points etc. he should he able to move to a program much better than Temple. If you think about it logically, his chance of success in 2017 and 2018 are so much higher at PSU than at Temple based on the talent and youth on PSU's roster. If he does well in 2017 and/or 18 he could jump to a fairly high profile head coaching job.
Nardouchie to Temple since it is a step up and Canada to LSU as Eddy's OC - another step up. That was easy.
