Report: Josh Gattis meeting with ACC team for head coaching position
Fresh off winning the Broyles Award, given to the nation’s top college football assistant coach, it’s no surprise that Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis would be in demand. As the Wolverines gear up for a College Football Playoff semi-final, teams looking for a new head coach would logically be looking at the third-year coordinator.
While Michigan assuredly want to retain Gattis, when he was hired away from Alabama before the 2019 season, he was expected to be more of a rental, and now that he’s coming into his own, he’s starting to get schools calling.
And Thomas Jefferson’s school is calling.
Sources share with FootballScoop Thursday evening, Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis – newly minted Broyles Award winner – is speaking with Cavaliers’ leadership this evening.
Gattis has strong ties in the Atlantic Coast Conference footprint where the Cavaliers reside; he’s a Durham, N.C., native who played collegiately at Wake Forest. Gattis was drafted into the NFL, had a brief professional career and then transitioned into collegiate coaching in 2010 at North Carolina.

Whether it be Virginia or Duke, it seems like there’s a good chance that we only get one-to-two more games of Gattis coordinating the Michigan offense.
After 13 games, the Wolverines have the No. 19 offense in the country per yards-per-game, and the No. 13 scoring offense in the nation, as well.
