How is Moorhead as a recruiter?
I know that Saquan story, but how is his track record in identifying and attracting top talent?
Does anyone know?

Apparently his approach worked.
He signed back-to-back top 25 recruiting classes at MSU, including the first 5-star offensive lineman prospect in program history, and the 12 4-star-or-greater signees were the most in a two-year span at MSU since at least 2000.

Re: How is Moorhead as a recruiter?
It sounds like that Moorhead would be what Cristobal is looking for. Someone that works hard at recruiting and has a personal touch to the recruits. I don't know anything about him, but I do trust Cristobal. He got a home run hire with Arroyo. I hope he does with Moorhead. Once he gets home run hires the next step is to keep them. Arroyo will have people reaching out to him. Cristobal will no doubt have to work really hard to keep him.

Nobody keeps great coordinators from better career opportunities/promotions.

The more I read about Moorhead, the more I feel like MSU fired him way too prematurely.

I read that part of it was also the culture inside the team, not all necessarily about wins and losses.OregonFan4Life wrote:The more I read about Moorhead, the more I feel like MSU fired him way too prematurely.

Yeah, he was too much of a "yankee" for Starskville, Mississippi.HomeSickDuck wrote:I read that part of it was also the culture inside the team, not all necessarily about wins and losses.OregonFan4Life wrote:The more I read about Moorhead, the more I feel like MSU fired him way too prematurely.

Re: How is Moorhead as a recruiter?
A recent column by the Starkville Daily News confirms the "yankee" theory.
Quick with a handshake and pat on the back, he gave off a welcoming vibe despite his northern mannerisms that seemed to put off a certain segment of diehard fans from the beginning.
Well worth reading IMO. Good football coach, maybe a better person.

Re: How is Moorhead as a recruiter?
Great story. I hope that he can recruit well and be an upgrade from Arroyo. I am liking what I have been reading about him. It seems like he is a very likable guy with high character and those are 2 traits that are very favorable. Two traits I would hope make an impact with these 17 and 18 yr old kids deciding where to go to school and then on and off the playing field while at Oregon. He seems very humble and I admire what he did for the foster kids and not wanting any recognition for it. This is a guy that sounds like was being ran out of Starksville and still chose to make a positive impact on those foster kids and not wanting the attention for doing it. If he can recruit and call plays as good as his character and he is the OC then I think we have a wonderful choice in OC.
