James Franklin and Penn State football recently tabbed Joe Lorig as special teams coordinator, but the hires won't stop there according to the Penn State careers website.

The role is not entirely a new one on Penn State's staff, the Nittany Lions have long employed a slew of analysts and advisors covering essentially every phase of the game.
