1. Sabans first choice was Grubb last year. Grubb turned him down and he settled for Tommy
I dont hate Tommy.
get off your butt and get an honest job instead of spending all day showing what a small person you are in all ways.
I'm convinced you are slow, so I'll take it easy on you moving forward.
It is based on a false click baity premise. The fanbase doesn't hate him but just acknowledged that he has not produced a top offense.
What a weak bunch of straight garbage !
very well said
I'm not the one who said Rees is better than Grubb. You did. You made a dumb comment
You clearly lack reading comprehension. Please prove where I stated Rees was better than Grubb.
That's all you got because you know i'm right. Check mate b1tch, because that's what you are, a little b1tch.
It's not even fun debating you anymore. You laid down when you had nothing. It was pathetic and weak
As Lee Corso likes to say, not so fast my friend.

No use, Golson5 believes he knows more than coaches, reporters, and players, yet he's sitting in his parents basement trolling Rees and those supportive of Rees. He is the definition of a keyboard warrior. He's a complete loser. He just proves what a dummy he is with every post.As Lee Corso likes to say, not so fast my friend.
I did some digging and found this article from a guy who blogs about Alabama footbal:
Did Nick Saban usher in the end of the Alabama Dynasty by hiring Tommy Rees for Offensive Coordinator?
Opinions are torn, but Alabama has a new offensive coordinator for 2023, for better or for worse.
From the title of the piece, I thought it was going to be a hit piece on Tommy Rees. But it was far from it. (For perspectve, the article was written in February 2023, shortly after Rees was hired.) The author of the article did a pretty thorough look at Rees' numbers while he was OC at ND, and came away with this conclusion:
"With those three bullet points, I think I understand why Rees was chosen as Alabama’s next offensive coordinator. Those qualities— adapting the offense to your QB, making the run game a focus, and making sure the offense is designed to get the ball in your best player’s hands— Mark the three big things Saban wanted. They also match what we saw in the Kiffin and Sarkisian systems, and also likely would have with Lebby and Moorhead as the OC (they had non-scheme reasons for not getting the job). And also explains why Grubb, despite his success at UW, was not a fit."
The author also said this about Rees:
"So, with all of that, I went into Friday not knowing who Tommy Rees was, and, two days later, am legitimately excited.
"It’s not a hire without risk, for sure. He’s extremely young and only has three seasons of experience. And the lack of an explosive downfield passing game could be extremely detrimental if Alabama finds themselves down a score or two in tight games (think how many games they would have lost the last two years without some Bryce Young comeback heroics).
"On the other hand, Rees is, without a shadow of doubt in my mind, going to bring a much more imaginative and powerful rushing game to the Tide, and that in itself should keep Alabama in a better position in most games than they often were the last two seasons.
"For Saban’s part, I think he’s hiring Rees specifically for that improvement in the run game and banking on his own experience with Kiffin and Sarkisian’s passing concepts and Alabama’s significantly superior speed at WR to bolster Rees’s inexperienced areas."
While Grubb may have apparently interviewed first, Saban apparently came to the conclusion that he wasn't a fit for Bama.
At least in the mind of the Bama blogger I quoted, Grubb isn't nearly the offensive guru you think him to be, and Tommy Rees is a lot better than you give him credit for.
Exactly, what he was able to get out of Pyne, and Milroe is pretty impressive.
So player performance is Irrelevant ?
“Ouch” ?
No doubt he was appointed QB and OC at ND but just like any position in the world, just because you’re in it doesn’t mean you’re qualified or excelling in that role. Just think about the most powerful office and position in the world…
"What you noticed right away was how bright he was, how prepared he was, and then you saw how good he was with the players and the way he went about teaching the players," Saban said. "You've seen that play out on the field this year.
I gotta say, that is exceedingly high praise. Almost gushing. Not what you typically hear, I suppose, from a fairly hard-assed coach like Nick Saban. So I'm not sure what to make of that. It's certainly not negative....
I agree with you in that he should not have been hired as OC at ND. Many on this forum, including myself believe that ND should not be a program where you learn on the job, but ND seems to revel in hiring first time coaches.
I'll go with stats over made for media puff comments. and the stats say Bama's 2023 offense fell short of the top 25.
Saban isn't part of the media. He is just the greatest college head coach to ever walk the planet.
