Akron coach Joe Moorhead has signed a contract extension through the 2027 season that will push his salary toward the middle tier of MAC coaches, according to ESPN. The extension comes amid potential interest from both NFL and Power Five college football teams searching for an offensive coordinator.
Moorhead emerged as a popular pick for high-profile jobs based upon his successful stints as offensive coordinator at Penn State and Oregon. He was linked to the Notre Dame offensive coordinator job -- among other major opportunities -- after Tommy Rees left for Alabama, and has also been tied to the Baltimore Ravens. However, he opted to return for another season at Akron.
