Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis speaks about building his relationship with coach Jim Harbaugh during recruiting trips, March 22, 2019. Detroit Free Press
Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh tried to hire Josh Gattis a few years back.
At the time, Gattis wasn't looking for a new job.
This offseason, though, Gattis was. And that is when Harbaugh called again.
Things moved pretty quickly. When the dust settled, the Wolverines hired Gattis from Alabama, where he was the co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach, to be the team's new offensive coordinator.
