Four months before the University of Maryland football program hired Josh Gattis as its offensive coordinator, a woman said he exposed himself to her in Florida, prompting a police investigation that has since been closed.

Gattis was on the University of Miami football staff in November 2022 when the woman, a custodian at the university, said he entered a bathroom on the school’s campus and called out to her. Worrying something might be amiss, she entered the bathroom where she said she saw him facing her and masturbating, according to police records.

Gattis, 39, later took a polygraph test denying that he intentionally exposed himself to the woman. The polygraph examiner did not detect any deception from Gattis, according to a transcript provided to police, which The Baltimore Sun obtained through Florida’s Sunshine Laws.
