(STATS) – Fordham coach Andrew Breiner resigned on Tuesday to join Joe Moorhead’s new staff at Mississippi State.

Breiner, 33, was 12-11 in two seasons leading Fordham.

He was the Rams’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Moorhead from 2012-15 and was promoted after Moorhead left to become Penn State’s offensive coordinator two years ago. Breiner also was a graduate assistant alongside Moorhead the previous three years at Connecticut.


Charles Huff - RB Coach/Running game coordinator

quote:

Huff — who coached with James Franklin for a year at Vanderbilt before joining the Penn State staff in 2014 — also has experience with the Buffalo Bills, Maryland, Western Michigan, Tennessee State and Hampton.



In his time at Penn State, Huff mentored Heisman Trophy candidate Saquon Barkley, guided an improved special teams unit and was a ferocious recruiter, most notably securing the commitment of Ricky Slade — the No. 2 running back in the class of 2018.

These are great hires. Well done Moorhead. Can't wait to see who else he brings on. But I like the hires so far!

MSU is also expected to name Andrew Warsaw as its new director of football operations, sources said. Warsaw was the NFL's director of game operations, and he also served as Purdue's football director of operations. He has also worked at Arizona, Fordham, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Penn and Villanova.

Joe Moorhead has continued to fill out his staff with experience SEC coaches. And after adding Bob Shoop on Friday, he’s reportedly added a former Dan Mullen assistant and FBS head coach to his staff. According to a report from footballscoop.com, former Louisiana Lafayette coach Mark Hudspeth will join the staff the tight ends coach. In addition to spening the last seven seasons at Louisiana Lafayette, Hudspeth also has experience at Mississippi State, as the wide receivers coach.

Mississippi State reportedly has offered its linebackers coach job to someone with NFL ties.

On Wednesday, Football Scoop’s Doug Samuels reported Bulldogs coach Joe Moorhead and defensive coordinator Bob Shoop have offered the program’s linebackers coach position to San Francisco 49ers defensive quality control coach Tem Lukabu. Lukabu has worked in the NFL for four seasons and two with San Francisco. He also spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2012-13.

Before his arrival in the NFL, Lukabu worked as a defensive assistant at Florida International, Colgate, Rhode Island and Rutgers, mostly as a linebackers coach. He also played linebacker at Colgate from 2000-03.

I haven't seen anything else confirmed to update. Sounds like Buckley may be retained.


quote:

Green Bay Packers wide receivers coach Luke Getsy is expected to be named the Bulldogs’ new offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach, sources confirmed to the Clarion Ledger. Football Scoop first reported that the offensive coordinator role at MSU was reserved for Getsy.


quote:

Georgia is reportedly going to lose an assistant to Mississippi State after the National Championship Game this Monday, as FootballScoop says Scott Fountain, who has served as the Bulldogs’ special teams analyst this season, is set to join Joe Moorhead’s staff in Starkville. Fountain has been a mainstay in the SEC for a number of years, spending eight seasons at Auburn before joining the Georgia staff this season. During his time with the Tigers, he served as both a special teams and tight end coach. He also served as director of player personnel at Auburn from 2009-13.

New MSU coach Joe Moorhead said at the TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, he hoped to have a staff completed by the end of the first week of January. Sources told The Dispatch Moorhead has hired Eddy Morrissey as a quality control coach. Like Moorhead, Morrissey has spent a lot of time in small college football, most recently as the offensive line coach at Bryant, but he spent three years as Chip Kelly's offensive line coach at Oregon. Morrissey also coached one year at Fordham, Moorhead's alma mater, but he didn't coach with Moorhead at the school. Moorhead spent four years as head coach at Fordham.

The Dispatch also has learned MSU is expected to name San Francisco 49ers defensive quality control coach Tem Lukabu its linebackers coach. Lukabu just coached his fourth season in the NFL, and second with the 49ers. He also spent two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His most recent college coaching experience was as linebackers coach at Florida International in 2015. Lukabu also spent two years at Rutgers, two years at Rhode Island, and a year at his alma mater, Colgate.

Really like the Warsaw hire, getting a guy with that kind of experience to handle the logistics of getting us to Atlanta then to Dallas/Miami and out to Santa Clara with a short turnaround next season will be big.

quote:

The program officially announced three additions with NFL ties to new head coach Joe Moorhead's first staff Friday: Tem Lukabu as linebackers coach and Andrew Warsaw as director of football operations, in addition to the previously reported news of Packers receivers coach Luke Getsy as offensive coordinator and receivers coach.



quote:

Lukabu spent two two-year stints as a defensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers. He has also coached linebackers and defensive line at Florida International, Rutgers, Colgate and Rhode Island.


quote:

Warsaw comes to Starkville after spending the past year as the NFL's director of game operations, where he coordinated team logistics and travel for international games and the Super Bowl. He also oversaw all gameday policies.

Warsaw and Moorhead worked together at Fordham in 2012 when Warsaw was Moorhead's director of football operations.

quote:

Defensive line coach Brian Baker and cornerbacks coach Terrell Buckley will also continue in their current positions.


quote:

Baker, who also has no shortage of NFL ties, returns for his third season as MSU defensive line coach. His group had a breakout year in 2017 as both Jeffery Simmons and Montez Sweat were named first-team All-SEC.

Buckley comes back for a second season at Mississippi State and gives MSU another Mississippi native on the staff. His cornerback crew helped the Bulldog defense finish 12th in the nation in defending the pass.

Mississippi State brought back a former staff member on Monday. The Bulldogs hired Anthony Piroli as their new head strength and conditioning coach, according to Bob Carskadon of HailState.com. Piroli was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Mississippi State for one season in 2014.

Over the past three seasons, Piroli has served as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Arizona Cardinals. Prior to joining the Bulldogs in 2014, Piroli was the co-owner and director of sports performance at Evolution Sports Institute in Pittsburgh for three years. He worked with athletes and coaches at all levels, running strength, speed, flexibility and conditioning programs.

Joey Jones hired as special teams coordinator. We’ve got better head coaches at special teams coordinator and tight ends coach than LSU has at HC. It’s a strange world these days.
