someone please educate me on the two?

Moorhead is the offensive coordinator at Penn State, SI and Yahoo named him the #1 assistant coach in the nation. He came to Penn State from FCS Fordham where we was a head coach. He took over a 1-10 team and turned them into a FCS Playoff team three straight years. Franklin hired him at Penn State and PSU is 21-5 since.

He also was the OC at UConn and hindsight says that he was the reason that they had that run to the Fiesta Bowl.

He's considered an offensive innovator, and does some things outside the box. He's a good fit at MSU, but has zero southern ties.

Brent Venables is the defensive coordinator at Clemson. Before that, he was the DC at Oklahoma. He has been a coordinator since 1999 (came with Stoops from Kansas State, his alma mater). The guy can coach, but a concern is that he is the top choice to replace Snyder at Kansas State, which can't be more than a couple years down the road.
