It didn’t take long before Josh Gattis was speculated as the targeted Miami Hurricanes offensive coordinator before it was confirmed that Michigan football was losing its Broyles Award-winning assistant. But it similarly didn’t take long for the Wolverines to find a replacement.
Unlike the defensive coordinator position, which is likely to be an outside hire, Michigan has several internal candidates who could fill the offensive vacancy. The Wolverines turned to Sherrone Moore, the 2021 offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator who was elevated from tight ends coach a year ago and Matt Weiss will now be the co-offensive coordinator along with being the quarterbacks’ coach.
This comes on the heels of Moore having coached the Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line, named as the nation’s best a year ago. Along with Weiss, their fingerprints on the offense have been undeniable, as Michigan went from ‘speed in space’ to more of a run-focused attack that more closely resembled Jim Harbaugh’s San Francisco 49ers offense.
Moore came to Michigan in 2018 after serving as the tight ends coach with Central Michigan.
Additionally, former Michigan offensive tackle Grant Newsome was promoted from his graduate assistant position to the new tight ends coach, Ron Bellamy will move from safeties to wide receivers, Jay Harbaugh will coach safeties, and Mike Hart will be the run game coordinator.
