Josh Gattis “chewed out” by Nick Saban before leaving Alabama for Michigan

Before former Alabama co-offensive coordinator Josh Gattis left Tuscaloosa, he had to make a stop in Nick Saban’s office.

The Crimson Tide head coach had just lost Mike Locksley — his other coordinator — to Maryland. He was peeved when Gattis told him he was following Locksley to College Park.

“I had just left a meeting with Nick Saban,” Gattis said on Jim Harbaugh’s Attack Each Day podcast, “getting my butt chewed out for about 20 minutes telling him I was leaving...It didn’t go over well.”

Former Alabama assistant Coach Josh Gattis describes his last moments with Saban and getting the call from Harbaugh.
