Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis was named the 2021 Frank Broyles Award winner on Tuesday in a ceremony in Little Rock, Arkansas. The award, presented by the Broyles Foundation, is given annually to college football’s top assistant coach.
Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles was in attendance as one of five finalists, but, ultimately, did not take home the hardware.
Gattis and the Wolverines had quite the year. His offense is Top 13 in scoring and 19th in total yards per game. More than that, Michigan had some impressive outings — including a 42-27 win over Ohio State — on its way to a Big Ten Championship and inclusion in the College Football Playoff.
