There is perhaps no fan base in the country more convinced that they are “a quarterback away” than Michigan. That might be accurate, as the Michigan defense and run game have largely been very good since Jim Harbaugh arrived in 2015. But it is the offense that has never quite come together, ultimately causing Harbaugh to make substantial staff changes, namely bringing in Josh Gattis as OC. He has spent time at Penn State and Alabama, and hopes to bring some of that offensive magic to Ann Arbor.
“Speed in space” is the new mantra. There have not been this many pistol formations, spread ideas, and tempo concepts since Rich Rod was coach.
