Josh Gattis was headed to Maryland before Jim Harbaugh gave him a call. Lane Kiffin enjoyed the FootballScoope article documenting the former Alabama coaches move to Michigan:
βWhen Coach Harbaugh called, it kind of caught me off guard because I had just left a meeting with Nick Saban getting my butt chewed out for 20 minutes telling him I was leaving and he was trying to get me to stay. It did not go over well,β Gattis said. If there was any band-aid to the bruise or whatever that he left on me, it was that phone call. It was exciting to hear his voice and to talk to him personally.β
