Josh Gattis - Football Coach - University of Maryland Athletics

 

[Stern]

He was the hottest assistant coach in the country a couple years back. Went to Miami and he got destroyed for the failure with the Canes. Probably not his fault, but the bloom was off his rose after that mess.

 

[Scooch]

Because no one has heard that he’s currently at Bird Library. Duh.

Van Dyke missed 4 games that year with injury. Likely not his fault.
Also, he's had a year to work under Sumlin while at MD since getting canned at Miami. This is the type of value buy SU needs.

 

[phil77]

Because he has major P5 experience coordinator experience and it seems like that isn't of interest to us. Who cares if he can coach at this level? What did he do at the FCS level or can he recruit at Georgia those are the key factors.

He wasn't a ga here last century

 

[PhatOrange]

Great candidate.

 

[orangeinjersey]

I would take Gattis resume over anyone that has been mentioned not named Mullen.

 

[Cusefan69]

Shouldn't the outside firm be presenting the best candidates per ADJWs requirements?

Im happy to share my venmo and the AD or Search firm can send me the referral fee.

 

[swish7]

Looks like an amazing candidate.

Because if he stayed at UMD one more year and had the same success, he'd probably have a pick of a lot better jobs than Syracuse.

I'm sure there's a lot of guys with this type of resume that turned us down.

internet says he made 850K this year and will make 950K next. You telling me offering him a promotion, more than doubling his salary (triple?) and offering him an east coast location traveling up and down the east coast to his home town area isn't enticing?

Add to that we just fired a coach after 8 yrs, so we understand patience. I think you're selling the job short.

 

[bnoro]

Bump.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I guess we'll be talking about him now...

Really interesting to see the role he fills.

 

[richmondcuse03]

whoa. sounds like an eventual replacement for nixon too?

 

[MSOrange]

 

[CusefanATL]

This is a HUGE get

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

This is an excellent addition to the coaching staff.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Seems like a great get as a WR coach and for recruiting. As to potential OC, it seems weird that his buddy let him go. Anyone have incite there?

 

[SUFan44]

This is stunning. I don't even know what to say.

 

[kingtidge]

Welcome to Browntown.

He was fired at both Miami and Maryland. Perhaps he just needs some seasoning under Nixon to reach his full potential. Clearly he must be close to have landed OC jobs at Michigan, Miami and Maryland...or he just likes schools that start with M.
