Feldman just published an article on Harbaugh’s consigliere who was hired last year and his first order of business? Fixing the massive divide among the offensive staff, mainly between Gattis and other O staffers…

They fixed the issues, at least temporarily given how the season ended up, but it wasn’t enough to keep Gattis on staff or prevent Gattis from ripping his former employer on his way out. Also quite clear which side of that divide came out in a better position…

“…He watched how Gattis and his assistants interacted and quickly detected a clear division in the room between the coaches who were with Gattis and those who were not.

“It was shocking how apparent that was,” Poggi says. If that didn’t get resolved, he was sure Michigan was going to stink on offense, and if that was indeed the case, the Wolverines were in deep trouble. It was time to intervene.

“There’s support here, but it’s divided between Josh and what he wants to do, and some other legacy ideas.” To Poggi, Gattis knew the system that he’d learned under Joe Moorhead well, but several other assistants weren’t on board.

“We have a 60-40 room here. And we’re gonna fail as an organization because of this,” Poggi said.

This paints Gattis' time at Michigan in a different light than what is being presented by the CIS braintrust.
 
Thanks for posting.

Feldman went to Miami at the same time as Mario and from interviews with Feldmen it seems like they have a closer relationship than your typical HC coach/national reporter relationship. I am sure Mario can see some of this with his own eyes, but with Feldmen having written this I can only imagine that it helps Mario if he had any questions on where divisions might be arising in the Miami staff.

Many intimate details about Gatass’es tenure at Michigan have been exposed after he was hired by Mario. Very few had an inkling as to the issues on or off the field beforehand and understandably so since many Canes don’t follow Michigan closely.

Not only have stories surfaced about Gatass’es tumultuous tenure at Michigan been exposed, he’s proven on our field he’s not the high falootin’ OC that won the Broyles.

Maybe, but it was only for 1 season. Gattis was a major reason Harbaugh was on the hot seat entering 2021. They turned it around after hiring a whole new offensive staff, incl. Matt Weiss. And if Gattis stayed at Michigan, he likely would be looking at his first head coaching job this off season. He decided to leave, Michigan didn’t care, and who looks like they made the right decision now?

And who is the common denominator in two toxic coaching situations?

even arm chair dudes can see this is a full mutiny...guys who actually played know for sure.
these kids been playing all their lives...they know how to score TDs ffs
this reeks of egotism, bad management, infighting, even emotional immaturity all on the part of the coaching staff.

... the fact we have a fan base that thinks Mario Cristobal needs a Bruce Feldman article to help him see the forest for the trees with Josh Gattis—who was far from his first- or second-choice offensive coordinator option—is laughable.

Mario: "Well I was iffy on Josh Gattis and unsure the direction to go and despite seeing the product on the field, it was an article from Bruce Feldman on Gattis' time at Michigan that really pushed me to make a change for '23."

C'mon now.

How could Mario be so far off in evaluating such a piece of crap? Is the politically-tinged Broyles award (which Gattnis Everdeen did not deserve) the actual reason?

Mario was off on evaluating the talent and coachable players he had on this 2022 football team—and their inability to play the brand of football he's looking to build.

Gattis proved that with the horses in Michigan, his offense works. Hence the 12-2 season and CFP appearance against Georgia—all of which earned him the Broyles Award honor.

The blind spot was regarding Manny Diaz's soft team and the inability for these lazy, entitled kids to buy in and play a tougher brand of football—all parties involved failing regarding learning on the fly and finding a way out of this hot mess this season.

Gattis wasn't Cristobal's first choice and they obviously were in lockstep with the brand of football they both want to run; there was just a swing and a miss personnel-wise.

Safe bet that based on what they evaluated and wanted to implement they expected:


Bethune-Cookman — W
Southern Miss — W
Texas A&M — Toss Up
Middle Tennessee State —W
North Carolina — Toss Up
Virginia Tech — W
Duke — W
Virginia — W
Florida State — Toss Up
Georgia Tech — W
Clemson — L
Pitt — W

Somewhere around 8-4 and 9-3 was probably the belief—with an, if-all-goes-to-plan, a 10-2 run.

Then they looked under the hood and saw what they were dealing with and said, "Oh sh*t".

Once Miami lost to Middle Tennessee State, this thing was over. There's no coming back from a game like that. If kids were on the fence about believing at 2-1, losing to a glorified high school from Murfreesboro, Tennessee was the final nail in the coffin of this season, with this roster.

Don’t forget the change in offense staff that saved Harbaughs tenure from relying on gattis.

Michigan had the horses before when Gattis was sucking there: it’s just the primary play caller was total trash who was saved by Weiss.

Kind of a key detail to be missing there.

It's not that the article will now change Mario's mind, it's that Mario already knew this and still choose gattis in the first place
