Age is relative.
An NFL quarterback in their mid-30’s is deemed old.
But a coach in their mid-30’s? They’re young!
With that relativity in mind, Michigan’s coaching staff had itself a youth movement over the past week with the additions of offensive coordinator Josh Gattis, defensive assistant (will coach LB’s or Safeties) Anthony Campanile, and defensive line coach Shaun Nua.
Ages:
Gattis- 35
Campanile- 36
Nua- 37
There are some old coaches well into their 60’s who can relate well to high school recruits (look at Don Brown), but then there are others where there’s a clear disconnect between them and the players in the locker room.
