Maybe he thought that when Jimmy went to the NFL he would become the head man? So now that the first part is not going to happen he feels it's better to go somewhere else?Why would he make this lateral move? Another good offensive year at Michigan, and he will be a head coach candidate. I did read some things that said Michigans assistant coaches were ticked off at Harbaugh for how he entertained the NFL this off season.
I think that is the case.Maybe he thought that when Jimmy went to the NFL he would become the head man? So now that the first part is not going to happen he feels it's better to go somewhere else?
It's easier to get a job when you don't need one. Gattis only had a job at scUM b/c Harbaugh didn't get the Minny job.Why would he make this lateral move? Another good offensive year at Michigan, and he will be a head coach candidate.

Very likely his next “gig” will be head coach. He can make major inroads with H S coaches in football rich Florida for a year or 2 . — IMO, a team like FAU, USF, UCF ( don’t think Malzahn lasts)or even Wake Forrest ( where he played) will offerI think that is the case.
It’s possible/likely this was in the works for a while as Gattis was prepared for Harbaugh leaving and not being retained. And then perhaps just liked the Miami(FL) opportunity more.It's easier to get a job when you don't need one. Gattis only had a job at scUM b/c Harbaugh didn't get the Minny job.
You been down there mid-April thru October?...brutal heat and humidity. As Marco Rubio indelicately put it: "All of South Florida is a swamp".Sunny days, with women on the beaches in Miami > Sunny days with women on the beaches in fur-parkas!
Not a hard decision at all really!
Sorry but no one but a delusional Penn State fan would considered that to be a lateral move. You don’t turn down an opportunity to work with perhaps the greatest college coach of all time. A job there is a fast track to getting a promotion.He did a lateral room as wr coach from psu to alabama
Where did the DC go?hah,hah..loses his DC and OC in same year. They must know fluke good team with hairball chance of losing 1 game next year. Time to leverage up.
Those weren't parkas!Sunny days, with women on the beaches in Miami > Sunny days with women on the beaches in fur-parkas in Michigan!

Wishful thinking. Look at their schedule next year.hah,hah..loses his DC and OC in same year. They must know fluke good team with hairball chance of losing 1 game next year. Time to leverage up.
Not to mention the pay bump. And being passed over for the PSU OC job.Sorry but no one but a delusional Penn State fan would considered that to be a lateral move. You don’t turn down an opportunity to work with perhaps the greatest college coach of all time. A job there is a fast track to getting a promotion.
Wow! Isn't that where he came from a year ago?Baltimore Ravens
The move seems to work out very well for him. Changing jobs can always be a gamble.Sorry but no one but a delusional Penn State fan would considered that to be a lateral move.

Wake signed their coach to a long term extension...they are in their heyday right now...not since Brian's Song have people heard so much about Wake Football (fwiw my sister went there with Piccolo's daughters)Very likely his next “gig” will be head coach.

Never got the wow factor on the guy, he's like Locksley meh.Gattis is a baby that takes his ball and goes home as soon as he doesn’t get what he wants.
He is an outstanding WR coach and recruiter.Never got the wow factor on the guy, he's like Locksley meh.
Better beachesPerhaps he saw the quality of life being a little better in Coral Gables, Fl than in Ann Arbor, MI
Were either one named ‘Spade’?Wake signed their coach to a long term extension...they are in their heyday right now...not since Brian's Song have people heard so much about Wake Football (fwiw my sister went there with Piccolo's daughters)
Gators and snakes, yuk!You been down there mid-April thru October?...brutal heat and humidity. As Marco Rubio indelicately put it: "All of South Florida is a swamp".
I've been reading the same, and that Gattis wasn't being considered to be head coach if Harbaugh left while Mike Hart, their RB coach, was being discussed as a possible replacement. I think them putting a position coach ahead of their OC made him realize where he stands with UM so he decided to move on to where he might be more valued.Why would he make this lateral move? Another good offensive year at Michigan, and he will be a head coach candidate.

probably too early to draw conclusions but starting to see a pattern of coaches wanting to get to the South East part of the USA.Sunny days, with women on the beaches in Miami > Sunny days with women on the beaches in fur-parkas in Michigan!

For Michigan Head Coaching Job Consideration: Being Michigan Legend > Being Broyles Award Winner.I've been reading the same, and that Gattis wasn't being considered to be head coach if Harbaugh left while Mike Hart, their RB coach, was being discussed as a possible replacement.
