I have seen the vague and unflattering references to Gattis on the site over the years. Bur am I correct he was not forced out at PSU? I would imagine this is a situation where the only way Gattis is brought back is if Terry gives his blessing. Surely Campbell will ask Terry for his thoughts.

Yes, but not just because they had prior experience at Penn State

I’ll be six to midnight if it’s Engram. If it’s Gattis he’ll be six to midnight around a lot of recruits moms

Josh Gattis was far more unhinged than even the rumors let on. Both here and Michigan. This is first hand from a former player. Be careful what you wish for then again, maybe he’s changed — who knows

While coaching at UM he hooked up with a recruits mom. Think it was Xavier Worthy’s mom, but I could be wrong about that.

Engram would be a good pull. Tons of WR coaching experience.

My only concern with Bobby is whether at this stage of his career he has the energy to recruit the way he will need to at this level. His resume speaks for itself. Strictly from a personality perspective, i think he and Campbell would get along very well. The concern with Gattis would be the job hopping. He has left PSU, Alabama, Michigan and Miami. Maybe all of those moves can be explained, but IMO it is a concern.

Except that there is a tendency to hire former players as coaches, regardless of whether they have even had the slightest coaching experience. Then also naming coaches with previous stops at Penn State in every coaching search.

Concerned about the cloud of rumors around Gattis, but on the other hand, perhaps the curse cannot be lifted until Gattis retakes his place?

Maybe he matured? Otherwise he is a top recruiter and developer, he has been successful everywhere.

I would have give on of my kidneys to have Brian Hartline as WR coach for one year. Hire the best coaches and do your best to make them want to stay.

That’s actually wild. One way to sell I guess.

I’m willing to bet that if Campbell trust him enough to hire him that he has matured. Campbell doesn’t seem like a guy who’d be willing to take a risk at the cost of negatively impacting culture. Gattis resume is also top notch. He still clearly has his recruiting chops with managing to get 247 5 star Calvin Russel to Cuse over Miami and Michigan this past cycle.

“Rumor” why Xavier Worthy decomitted from Michigan and went to Texas was Gattis slept with his mom. then there are more stories of Gattis being a hound at every stop he’s been at.
