Michigan hires Bama OC Josh Gattis!!!!

[SlinkyRedfoot]

There is no way to view this as anything but a positive. Pep is gone. A person with no affiliation to the program was hired who has been successful elsewhere; especially in the passing game.

And importantly, ranks pretty high on 247's recruiter rankings.

That's what I said. Revenge Tour. Book market.

The name Nussmeyer ring any bells?

I thought your offense looked pretty good in the bowl game. Florida's D-line was just that good.

Your defense being weak, IMO, was the real surprise. Our hit-or-miss offense moved with ease.

It wasn't that surprising considering 3 of their best players skipped the game and their best defensive player was playing with an injury that required surgery. I switched by bowl pick'em to UF the day before the game and had my confidence at I think 30 or 31.

It's hard to argue this point. Bama's WRs were not the reason they lost Monday night. They're an elite unit. The only issue I can think of is he's never called a play in his life from what I can tell.

Was the best player a LB...because UF ran and passed pretty easily.

One of them yes, Devin Bush. They were also missing Rashaan Gary and Karan Higdon (their leading rusher against UF was some kid named Christian Turner with 32 yards, and the team averaged 2.6 ypc), and Chase Winovich played despite needing surgery. I'll give him credit for still playing.

I didn't think Pep was a good idea and it seems to have shown. We have decent WR group and maybe this guy can do something. Not sold on Shea though. Rather see McCaffrey take his lumps and get going.

I legit did not know who he was.

2006 ACC champion, Josh Gattis

He's Michigan's savior. I mean, after Harbaugh, of course.

I started following him on Twitter for some reason when Bama got him from PSU before this season, that's really the only reason I know much of anything about him.

Hey - why is Dantonio having a press conference at 5:45?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

This news is just icing on the Natty cake. Harbaugh finally has the QB he needs to win it all. Shea. Fucking. Patterson.

You ran for a ton. UM was with Rashan Gary, Devin Bush, Aubrey Solomon on the DL. Then they lost two LBs in the first half of the game, as well as Kwity Paye (backup to Gary).

At one point, we had 4 guys 3rd stringers on the field playing who never had a meaningful snap the entire year.

Still can’t take anything away from Florida. Thy did what they had to do and gave us a beating.

I saw that too. Someone said not to make a big deal of it. They said it isn’t a big deal?!?

This was from a Michigan message board, so it could be completely wrong.

Great recruiter, but not sure if he's an OC. This hire could backfire on Harbaugh. Gattis is being given credit for "developing" Jeudy, Ruggs, and Devonta Smith, but if you ask me, they all looked pretty damn good as true Freshman last season.

Because he is going to say he is going to waste another B1G championship caliber defense next season by not making any changes on the offense so don’t bother watching them.

The radio said that the rumor is he is moving the offensive coaches position but everyone is coming back.

Bama's coaching staff is taking a bigger hit than normal this year.

We get it. You're a closet Bama fan.
