GP1 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/spor...es/13554399.htmAllow me to rewrite this headline for everyone: "Moorhead Promoted to Co-Offensive Coordinator: Brookhart Will Continue to Call Plays".For those of you waiting for black helicopters to pick you up, it could mean that the current OC is interviewing for other jobs......which may not be a stretch in that business.

Dr Z Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 ...or it is just a title promotion with a raise to keep him on staff because JD appreciates him.Steelers did the same thing with Russ Grimm a few years ago. Worked for a while, now he might be gone.Zips aide Moorhead promotedBy Gary EstwickBeacon Journal sportswriterUniversity of Akron coach J.D. Brookhart promoted assistant Joe Moorhead to co-offensive coordinator Wednesday, one day after Moorhead interviewed for the coaching vacancy at Georgetown University.The promotion allows Brookhart to retain one of the coaches that helped the Zips win their first Mid-American Conference title this season and qualify for their first Division I bowl game.Moorhead interviewed with Georgetown on Tuesday before withdrawing from consideration Wednesday.``We've built a lot of positive momentum here at the university with what we've done in the past few years,'' Moorhead said. ``Our offensive staff works great as a team, and we're just looking to carry this momentum and keep things going in the right direction.''Moorhead recently completed his second season with the Zips. He has served as recruiting coordinator, passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. He will retain those duties. He will also share offensive coordinator duties with Jim Pry, who has served in the position for the past two seasons.Moorhead played quarterback at Fordham, where he graduated in 1996 with a degree in English. He also played two seasons in the Arena Football League. Quote
Beanie 4 Heisman Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 The promotion is just like what JD did with Wallersted last year when he promoted him to Associate Head Coach. It gives the guy a raise so he will stay around longer. Pry doesnt call plays now so i dont really think that it will be much different. Oo and someone was saying that Pry might be interviewing for a job. Well i think he interviewed for Buffalo but he didnt get it. Quote
