That is what he ended up doing .... hiring Gattis .... but it was not his first choice, second, choice or third choice. After Candle turned him down he was in February, needed an OC and voila, all of a sudden the Broyles Award Winner was available due to a spat with the Michigan Administration after they didn't want to consider Gattis for the HC role if Harbaugh bailed for the Vikings. Gattis wasn't even available 2 weeks before he was hired ... he was never a "candidate", and Mario wasn't searching for the "Gattis system". But .... perception is perception. It is on Mario to DEMONSTRATE in 2023 that UM can field a prolific offense.I hear you but it was under his watch, the signs were there with gattis and he hired him. He chose to get an entirely different system after saying tvd was the best qb in the country, those were his choices.
