Summary
Josh Gattis, Michigan's offensive coordinator, talks about the challenges facing the team, the difference between being in shape and being in football shape, and the culture created by the players. Since he is working from home and able to pitch in a bit more than a coach's schedule normally allows, he has a go to meal for the family. Hint: it will gain great favor with the offensive line.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, friends. You're listening to In the Trenches, and I am your host, John Jansen. |
| 0:05.2 | Today, Michigan's offensive coordinator, Josh Gattis, is going to stop by. And I get a chance to ask |
| 0:11.3 | him, how are you communicating with your team? What is it that you are doing now that maybe |
| 0:16.8 | you were uncomfortable with before this quarantine? And what is the specialty since you're also a stay-at-home dad right now? |
| 0:24.6 | What's the specialty on the menu? |
| 0:27.2 | We'll find out next on In the Trenches. |
| 0:30.9 | Let's go In the Trenches with John Jansen. |
| 0:33.8 | The former Wolverines captain in Michigan Sports Hall of Famer will take you inside the locker |
| 0:38.7 | room with players and coaches. Once again, here's John Jansen. Josh Gaddis, the offensive |
| 0:45.6 | coordinator here at Michigan, has been kind enough to take a few minutes out of his day to talk to us |
| 0:51.0 | here on In the Trenches. And Josh, first of all, thanks for joining us. |
| 1:00.2 | Second, when you think about the circumstances that we're in right now, how is it affected, not just your life in Schembeckler Hall, but just your life as a dad, as a family |
| 1:06.8 | man? Yeah, you know, it's really giving me a ton of time to spend time at home with the kids. |
| 1:14.9 | I think I've probably done more damage by being at home changing their schedule than helping myself. |
| 1:21.1 | But it's been good, you know, it's been a really good quality time. |
| 1:24.6 | And really honestly, I think in our profession, it's really opened up our eyes that you can still be productive by doing things differently. |
| 1:32.9 | And I think it's made a lot of coaches across the country really look at ourselves and say, hey, do you really honestly need to be working, you know, the long hours that we work in the off season? |
| 1:41.7 | Or could some of that be, you know, from remote at home |
| 1:44.8 | and still get the same things done and accomplished? |
| 1:47.2 | Well, it's interesting you say that because I think there, whether it's Zoom or whatever, |
