Rising assistant coaches
1. Joe Moorhead, Penn State offensive coordinator: The architect of the most exciting offense in college football, Moorhead helped Penn State win its first outright Big Ten title in over 20 years. Hes smart, innovative, down-to-earth and well-liked by his players. He also already has head coaching experience, having taken over a 110 Fordham team and gotten the Rams to 122 by year two. The 43-year-old Pittsburgh native would warrant a look from anyone in the market for a head coach, not just programs in the northeast.
