The coaching carousel keeps turning.

Penn State football fired offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich Sunday afternoon. Yurcich’s termination came after Penn State only scored 15 points against Michigan as the program missed out on another chance at a Big Ten title.

Plenty on Twitter immediately pointed to the Michigan game as the source of Yurcich’s demise. Most notably, fans called out Yurcich’s final play call as offensive coordinator: a failed two-point conversion attempt with one of the weirdest formations in football.

For plenty of fans, seeing Yurcich get thrown out of his office was a glimpse at a change for an offense that struggled in big games.

Thank God Penn State fired Mike Yurcich guy can't call a game

Other fans weren’t so quick to point fingers at Yurcich. Some looked to Yurcich’s former boss, James Franklin, as the deeper issue.

Even former Penn State defensive back Marquis Wilson chimed in…

Dey firing da wrong guy

Of course, Nittany Lion fans looked to a familiar face to save their offense. Plenty thought that Franklin should bring back his former offensive coordinator, Joe Moorhead.

So, bring Joe Moorhead back?

Hot take: if it weren’t for Joe Moorhead, James Franklin would have been fired by now https://t.co/5NLKx5OTPz

Offer Joe Moorhead the Penn St OC job. Give him a blank check

Though bringing Moorhead, now a head coach at Akron, wasn’t all that attractive to everyone.

Am I in the minority about not wanting Joe Moorhead back? #PennState #JamesFranklin #PSU

Some fans just couldn’t help but get the last laugh against a coach they felt mismanaged their team.
