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

Mario's previous offensive coordinator - Joe Moorhead - had Gattis as his WR Coach at Penn State and as stated in the article that is what he runs. Mario won two Pac12 titles, and a Rose Bowl with that offense. Its pretty obvious the connection Gattis had to Mario...it wasn't some bamboozling.

I'm pretty convinced no one is actually reading the article in here. It refutes a lot of the CIS fan fiction they've created about this guy.

To Poggi, Gattis knew the system that he’d learned under Joe Moorhead well, but several other assistants weren’t on board.

Joe Moorhead's offense at Oregon and the Gattis O at Miami have a lot in common but Gattis is missing some key things. I just saw a ton more 11 personnel with SPREAD sets. He also had a HOT route with the RB as a dump off/check down in the flats on most plays. With his 12 personnel, almost always confused the LB or S covering one of the TEs for a wide open play. Due to his SPREAD, the run lanes were bigger, the pass rush was less, and he actually rolled the QB out some as well.

I don't see any of that from Gattis: tight formations even in 11 personnel, no check downs to RB,no rollouts by QBs, our TEs (outside of Brantley can't block when asked)...

What we likely have is the other stuff mentioned: Gattis butting heads with everyone.

Ahhhh, I see the connection now. Moorhead used to be the OC for Mario at Oregon, so Mario probably called Moorhead for recommendations on an OC, and Moorhead probably recommended Gattis. In any event, our offense doesn't look like any Moorhead offense that I've ever seen.

Mooreheads O at PSU with McSorely, Barkley, & Godwin was nasty. This is nowhere near that offense. Doesn’t look like it whatsoever.

This O is a cross between Pat Nix and.... Oh forget it. This O is so bad it can't be a cross between any known offenses. If Pat Nix and Dan Enos had a love child O, it would be better than this.

This current O couldn't score on Mark D'Onofrio's D.

And for anyone using talent as the excuse, I don’t care if the 2022 Miami Hurricanes has the Dallas Cowboys offense from the 90’s running the plays, Gattis would still not succeed

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.

As I said “ toxic and ego”. He wasted no time doing the same here.

The article paints Gattis in a better light than portrayed by most on the Board, for sure.

But it's also clear from the article that Gattis has butted heads with coaches. Even if Gattis has chops as an OC, which I think he does, he's clearly a pain in the *** at best, and a stubborn, toxic personality at worst. This is now confirmed by insiders on this board and from actual coaches on the Michigan staff.

Imagine having an ego and then on top of it getting the Broyles Award. He probably walks into meetings....

A lot of people have said, gattis runs the offense Mario wants, whether you wanted to believe that or not, I think people were hoping since gattis wasn't the first choice there was the possibility the style of offense could change.

As for unity, I thought the players didn't like each other, but they don't like the style offense and quit on gattis.
