Miami announces that OC Josh Gattis has been fired. He won the Broyles Award in 2021 for his work at Michigan. Miami's offense never got in synch in 2022.
Ohio State adds James Laurinaitis to the staff. He'd been a GA at Notre Dame last year. He's an all-time Buckeye great, and he returns there to work with the linebackers as a GA at OSU.
Sources: Former Colorado and Tennessee quarterback J.T. Shrout is transferring to Arkansas State. He committed over the weekend and has one year of eligibility remaining, with a potential second season if he’s granted a medical redshirt.
Source: Tarleton State is set to hire former Mississippi State assistant Mason Miller as the offensive coordinator and play caller. Miller was OL coach/run game coordinator at MSU and has coached OL at Washington State and Nevada. He’s a former Tarleton OC (2014-16).
