Joe Moorhead just got fired at Mississippi State. Could be a good fit. Had success as OC at Penn State. Knows the PL ropes from his time at Fordham. Had some disciplinary issues with some players this year at MSU but he won’t need to worry too much about that as OC at HC. Just put the ball in the end zone. He knows how to do that.

Considering how well he did as OC at Penn State, won’t he be a strong candidate for an FBS OC ?

He probably doesn’t need the money. In fact, he may be fine making less if that means MSU has to pay him more. If he wants to make less, we’re perfect!

Moorhead isn’t going from the head coach at an SEC school to a coordinator at a PL school.
I mentioned it jokingly in another thread that he’s available.

I would think BC would be interested in the guy. No OC or DC named yet, I don't think.

Are all Murphy’s detractors sure that our offense will be radically different with a new coordinator ? We have the same head coach who had to ultimately approve the OC’s game plans.

Mm67 - you are absolutely correct in your assessment of This board and URI coach.

Lol....who saw this situation ending up this way? Because his reputation is better than this board suggests. The offensive plan for every game was part of Chesney’s total game plan. Chesney is a terrific coach, but he is responsible as the leader for each phase-my bet is no coach goes beyond his preferences. once a QB is identified to do more and the offensive line improves, whoever the OC might be welll be considered a genius

Murphy didn’t have enough freedom. A lot of people question his play calling.
That said the next guy will have the same restraints. Ches calls the shots.
Hopefully get the next hire soon as I’m sure they will want some input on a transfer if that’s the route they go.

Does someone here have credible knowledge as to who called the plays this season? As I recall, in the in-game offensive sideline huddles I saw Chesney was never in the middle of the huddle. Maybe he is a strong delegater. Don't forget....on paper Murphy could point to a league champion team. Lots of factors go into hires.....including $$$$. Maybe the URI head coach does not delegate much.

Approving a game plan and calling individual plays can be two different things. Sorry but our play calling wasn’t very good despite the constant happy talk of some posters. I find it an excellent sign that Chesney sees the need for change. He’s showing real leadership and ownership of the program.

Amicable split.

Murphy left on his own. Wasn’t a split.
