Rees to Alabama?

You are pretty dense
9 games annually against SEC defenses. Better talent on the offensive side of the ball. Playing under a coach with a proven track record of putting OCs in head coaching positions or NFL. The resume gets better. The experience gets better.
Yet you ignore the fact that the 5 previous OCs used their time there to get to next level on their coaching career. That fact you don’t like so you ignore it
Categorically false. If you are professional and have earned your keep, you can separate amicably at the highest levels and return.
Nussmeier left for the same job at Michigan and has never become a head coach. Kiffin left to be the HC at Florida Atlantic. I think an ND OC could get that job. And O'Brien left for his old job he had back in 2011. So they haven't all gone on to be the HC at Texas.
Good point. But he got the opportunity after coaching under Nick. That is the point
see other posts. Anyway you look at it, the opportunity affords Tommy a better chance to advance. Period, stop, end.
He still has to perform. Not sure how you guys get yourself tied up in these circular arguments. I have said, and only said, that going to Bama as OC is more than a lateral move.
A few years back the rumors were that everyone was high on Rees and saw him as an up and comer. Meanwhile, everyone here dogged him and Kelly still for that matter. Now he’s gone to a place that could get whomever they wanted.
Ok, people got what they wanted. No more Kelly or his products. Time to see what Freeman can come up with.
Sure… but doesn’t mean team defenses have been great… heck lsu then osu put up insane numbers vs Georgia D despite osu without top wr in country and their second best wr getting targeting hit and knocked out second half
Unfortunately, it appears as though ND has become the training ground for coaches looking to elevate themselves to elite programs.
I remember the days when ND was the premier coaching spot. Oh well.
Dude, that was over 25 years ago.maybe longer. Where have you been.
And coaches always are looking to elevate themselves. Most of them
Titles didn't really exist back then, so apples oranges. Winning percentage makes more sense.
There were lots of different organizations that handed out titles like candy. Didn't mean they were anything close to a unanimous decision.
And even with all those multiple organizations, they still didnt have as many titles
All top schools are training grounds for coaches, including ND, Alabama, Clemson and others. Many coaches left good positions to coach at ND. Saban’s program is just top of the heap right now.
beyond stupid even for you
anyone claiming this is not a step up for Rees is a moron
go sit in the corner and put on the dunce cap
Let’s just skip to the part where Rees takes over at ND. I hate these predictable crappy coaching years while we wait for a good hire. If history repeats we will be waiting 20 years. Hope we can expedite things this time around.
I'd like to see a vote on that. Coordinator experience is good but I prefer to see a HC won at schools like NCST, Toledo, Bowling Green, or Northwestern.
"is 1.9 and 1.1 in the same ballpark?"
"From what I understand, this wasn’t about the money. Rees was said to be making north of $2.25 million a year at Notre Dame, and it’s also been said that ND would match any monetary offer by Bama. So... he must think it’s time to go and time to grow."
I would say --- it is well within the ball park -- but -- since no one really knows how much he made -- it is pure conjecture at this point. My guess it was much better than the $1.1 you spouted out.

Step up in HC only, not pay, not title, and ND offense could be better than bama this year
Lol at the 2.25 mil"is 1.9 and 1.1 in the same ballpark?"

I dont know if he was in the 1.9m ballpark at ND. I think we would have matched it if he wanted to stay because Jack loves him some Tommy.
This is a win for us that he's gone
Step up because Bama is a better job than Notre Dame right now
Nick needed a place like Bama to become Nick Saban. JMO.
