It seems UM’s offense will stay wide-open, vertical, dynamic and spread…

I’m trying not to come off as a homer, but I truly think Gattis played everyone. It was the perfect storm…

****ed with Harbaugh and Michigan, he already has the Broyles award in his back pocket. Harbaugh is known as a pro and bro guy, Gattis can easily say he wants a more vertically imposing and tempo offense. What you say and do, however, are completely different.

Mario was looking for spread, but fell back into his comfort zone with a Gattis guy that appears like the perfect blend on paper; I get my physical rushing attack, and a more intricate passing game. Moreover, He thinks he can throw together the best parts of his Oregon staff with his OC and all will be fine.

Instead, we have lies and a flat out disaster. He completely underrated the value of continuity and familiarity amongst staff members. Hopefully he (Mario) does his homework this time…another Gattis-esque hire, and patience will be extremely thin. He deserves all the blame for this hire, but atoning for the mistake in year one is a good sign.

You’re a homer.

Speaking of home runs …. finding a great bourbon store pick is hitting a home run….

Like a wide open offense would be at Miami…

Ok. If we say we are going to do it then we need to run a wide open spread offense.

This is a good point. Mario is an upstanding bro of integrity with a code of "Do Right By People."

The code demands Mario hire a wide open spread OC for Jacurri.

If you tell a QB you’re recruiting that you are going to run a wide open spread, you should be following through on it or not saying that to begin with.

I just don’t get it. Mario took his sweet time hiring an offensive coordinator and shelled out almost $2M of the school’s money (per year) for a guy who has no history of running anything near wide open, fast paced nor vertical. Anybody who even watched Michigan knew what Gattis does. We got exactly the offense he was running at Michigan. So either Mario is an idiot and didn’t bother researching his coordinator’s offensive play calling history. Or…we got the exact offense that Mario really wanted and he was just lying to our players when he told them we were going to be a wide open spread system.

It’s sad because there’s plenty of ways to have a dependable and effective running game without needing first round picks at every OL spot but Mario doesn’t like that. He wants a bunch of tight formations with multiple tight ends where your line has to execute perfectly. He’s purposely choosing the hardest way to score points in football because that what he prefers.
