Ann Arbor — When Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said he was handing over the keys to the offense to 35-year-old Josh Gattis, maybe some wondered if he was holding one key for himself just to make certain he maintains a strong influence.
But Gattis, who arrived here earlier this year after spending last season as co-offensive coordinator at Alabama, said Friday he has been in the driver’s seat and there has been no backseat driving by anyone.
Not even Harbaugh, who has “not been involved at all,” according to Gattis.
That means Gattis has been free to install his hurry-up, no-huddle offense that he dubbed “speed in space” in his first Tweet after taking the job at Michigan.
