We heard about the lashing Alabama co-offensive coordinator Josh Gattis took from Nick Saban when deciding to leave to coach at Maryland, a school he never got to because Michigan came a-calling and he decided to take the offensive coordinator gig there instead. On Tuesday, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed how they stole Gattis...

Found out through the grapevine that Josh was considering leaving Alabama to go to Maryland so we reached out and asked if he had any interest in Michigan. I called him at 10 o’clock in the morning and by 3:30 he was coming to Michigan with a signed Memorandum of Understanding.”

“When Coach Harbaugh called, it kind of caught me off guard because I had just left a meeting with Nick Saban getting my butt chewed out for 20 minutes telling him I was leaving and he was trying to get me to stay. It did not go over well. If there was any band-aid to the bruise or whatever that he left on me, it was that phone call. It was exciting to hear his voice and to talk to him personally.”
