Sources -- Miami hires Josh Gattis away from Michigan to be football team's new offensive coordinator

Mario Cristobal's deliberate methodology in putting together his first staff at the University of Miami is delivering another bold-faced name for a hire.

Miami has finalized a deal to hire Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis, sources told ESPN, as the school's new offensive coordinator. Gattis won the Broyles Award for the nation's top assistant in 2022 and is regarded as one of the country's rising coaching prospects.

Gattis has already texted his players and informed them that he's leaving, a source told ESPN's Tom VanHaaren.

The hire of Gattis gives Cristobal a strong coordinator pairing, as he hired veteran defensive coordinator Kevin Steele away from Maryland after he'd only been there for a few days.
