When the Michigan Wolverines take on the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday, there’s more of a rivalry going than initially meets the eye.
Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis and Maryland head coach Mike Locksley know one another well, they’ve spent a lot of time together in the past year as a matter of fact.
Both coaches were on the Alabama Crimson Tide coaching staff in 2018, they were co-offensive coordinators. Now Locksley is the head man at 3-5 Maryland while Gattis is the offensive coordinator and calling plays for 6-2 Michigan.
The ‘rivalry’, or at the very least, spirited exchange and disagreement between the two men, began in July at Big Ten Media Days when Locksley was asked a few questions about Gattis.
