Josh Gattis Film Review: Canes bring in an OC fresh of a Broyles Award at Michigan. Excellent in the running/RPO game with a very good knack for game planning vs mismatches in the passing game & Continuing to attack them. #GoCanes


Coach Gattis just before the spring game...

I can certainly see why Josh Gattis's offensive style appealed to Mario's vision of balanced football. I think Michigan fans were expecting a whole lot of what Gattis was around at BAMA, with the big strike stuff, when he took over as OC. It really never materialized and talent may have been a lot of that. When Harbaugh plucked Shea Patterson out of OM I thought they were set up to be a lot more explosive through the airwaves, but it still looked more pedestrian than his time at Mississippi. And in the process, Gattis was also struggling with establishing the run game. Which had to be somewhat shocking for Michigan fans.

Really, last season it came together for him, Gattis got in big formations and multiple line formations and played bully ball, but then unlike his previous 2 seasons you also saw Michigan's ability to spread people out and still have a physical presence with the downhill running. That is hard to do and if he brings that same approach to Miami's offensive identity, and you can almost bet on it with Cristobal's DNA, this team should look dramatically different on both sides of the LOS.
Thank you bro for checking it out!! Mario forsure getting that LOS fixed thats #1 goal
 
Thanks for the breakdown that’s 🔥🔥🔥

I think sound game planning and attacking your opponents weaknesses is one of the most undervalued aspects of being an OC.
Thank you for checking it out fam!! Yessir it’s a major plus & shows that the OC doing it is a high intellect guy
 
I like the misdirection and the OL going in opposite directions to the actual flow of the ball. Opposing Defenses in the ACC are going to have a tough time keeping up with that.

Hopefully it helps solve our short yardage troubles too.
The addition of ponce will be huge as well in the 2 years i believe it takes to fix our OL leaning on someone who has worked with UL/App st when their run game is all about speed to the edge due to their OL being quick should help us in the transition
