Miami fires Josh Gattis
- Thread starter CRazzle
- Start date
You know your "boy I wish we had this guy" OC is great when he gets fired by a 5-7 team.
So, which coach on the Iowa staff is being fired? Keep the pipe dream alive folks, it ain't happening.
Pretty sure a good chunk of us would be an upgrade.
Seems like it would be easy to let Barnett go if not BF.
This at least gives me hope that it isn't too late for BF to be fired. I wasn't sure on the usual timing for when OC's are let go.
Only thing I could see is if Nieman retired. That would be one spot and they would reshuffle his duties on D and open up a spot on the offense side. I haven't really seen any photos of Nieman out on the recruit trail.
I think Nieman is only late 50s though.
Wishful thinking by some of you on this board - but Brian Farentz isn't going anywhere in '23. We will run the same garbage offensive game plan out there only w/ different players, albeit better players at some positions,
It's also funny when schools like Miami have had enough of a bad OC after one season, while we'll gladly put up with a terrible offense with the same OC for six (plus?) years.
I think that one is well worn out by now.
What's Miami's record over the last 10 years. I haven't checked but I bet it aint good!
Not! You would get lost figuring out the difference between a run play and play action. Brian has shown glimpses of what he can do. OSU and USC.
Ha I knew someone would come back with that, because Miami is the only school to fire OC's quickly right? How about Alabama after Saban's first year? Georgia in 2019 after they went 12-2? Both of those OC's only made it one season. Great programs (or really any program for that matter) don't put up with below average coordinators, but little ole Iowa will gladly stand by Greg Davis and Brian Ferentz for 12 plus seasons. It's maddening.
You spoke directly to Miami. Yeah Iowa could be Alabama every year!!!! Alabama and Georgia suck up the five stars from Key West to Seattle every year. And those kids aren't magically gonna come to Iowa City.
I's say he has a pretty good resume. He's worked for Butch Davis, James Franklin, Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban.
In 2012, he was hired by Vanderbilt as wide receivers coach and offensive recruiting coordinator.[5] Wide receiver Jordan Matthews was awarded first-team All-SEC in both years Gattis was wide receivers coach at Vanderbilt. Gattis followed head coach James Franklin as he moved from Vanderbilt to Penn State in 2014, and assumed the same role with the Nittany Lions.
On January 25, 2018, it was announced he had been hired as the wide receivers coach at Alabama.[6] He served as co-offensive coordinator (with Mike Locksley) and wide receivers coach during the 2018 season at Alabama, helping to oversee the third-highest scoring offense in the country.[7] In his role as wide receivers coach, he oversaw Jerry Jeudy, who became the second consensus All-American wide-out to be coached by Gattis, and first to win the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best wide receiver.
On January 10, 2019, Gattis was hired to be the offensive coordinator at Michigan.[8] In 2021, Gattis won the Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in college football, leading the Wolverines' offense to a Big Ten Conference Championship and an appearance in the College Football Playoff.[9]
In February 9th, 2022, Gattis was hired as the offensive coordinator for the University of Miami Hurricanes. On January 27th, 2023 it was announced Gattis had been fired by Miami.
Coaching career
After serving as a graduate assistant under Butch Davis at North Carolina for one season, Gattis was hired as the wide receivers coach at Western Michigan in 2011. While on the Broncos staff, he coached consensus All-American wide receiver Jordan White.In 2012, he was hired by Vanderbilt as wide receivers coach and offensive recruiting coordinator.[5] Wide receiver Jordan Matthews was awarded first-team All-SEC in both years Gattis was wide receivers coach at Vanderbilt.

And now I'm speaking to Alabama and Georgia. What was your point exactly when asking about Miami's record over the past ten years?
Name another program that keeps multiple terrible offensive coordinators for six plus seasons. You're having issues getting sidetracked.
It's also funny when schools like Miami continue to suck while being in the heart of FB recruiting territory and get about 7500 fans to show up at their games.
No, I didn't say that. I want Iowa to be like every other program that doesn't accept poor offensive coordinators. When I said "schools like Miami", I was really just saying every other school in the country besides Iowa. No other school puts up with bad OC's as long as Iowa does. Whether they be blue bloods, other Big Ten programs, or non-power five schools. This thread just so happened to be about Miami.
Well we could start with Bama and Georgia. Is it fair to say I can mark you down for the "if it's broke, don't fix it" camp?
Oh for ****s sake. Really? Let's pick the best 2 programs for the past 20 years and use them as an example. You could probably step in at one of those 2 schools and keep the water bottles filled. You are a waste of everybody's time.
No, that's you. You're the crazy one that seems content keeping a terrible OC for six plus seasons. Of course Bama and Georgia weren't good enough examples for you, I should have known! Because blue bloods never have bad coordinators (sarcasm). Tulane perhaps? Illinois? Go ahead, pick any other school you deem "acceptable" for this little game of yours and we can see if they've ever kept a terrible OC for six seasons.
He's also shown long, cold, dead stares at what he can do.
And I'm rather certain I know the difference. Isn't action what the QB yells when he wants the ball?
He ain't going anywhere, I would have sent him, Copeland, and Brian packing after last year.
Wait, Wait, are you actually defending the absolute worst OC in college football? I'm not even upset, just rather impressed.
Wasn't Gattis kinda chased out of Michigan for sleeping with a recruit's mom? Talk about the personal "touch!"
