The University of Miami has found its offensive coordinator.
The Miami Herald confirmed Sunday that Michigan’s Josh Gattis, 38, who won the 2021 Broyles Award that goes to the top assistant coach in college football, is being hired by UM coach Mario Cristobal to lead the Hurricanes’ offense. Gattis had been the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach for the last three seasons in Michigan.
Led by Gattis, Michigan ranked 25th in the nation last year in both yards per play with 6.4 and yards per game with 44.3. The Wolverines also finished 16th in the nation with 35.8 points per game, 15th in rushing offense with 214.4 yards per game, 68th in passing offense with 228.7 yards per game and allowed the fifth fewest sacks in the nation, surrendering just one per game. They also converted 45.8 percent of their third downs — the 16th best mark in the country.
