Rees is tight with McNulty. No argument.
McNulty knew Parker and recommended him to Rees.
Rees went to Freeman with the Parker recommendation for an interview.
Freeman added enthusiasm to the plan.
Freeman and Rees are big time tight. And Freeman is counting on Rees to handle to O.
A first time head coach anywhere, but especially at a place like ND, has got to have great support from his OC and DC. Freeman has shown tremendous self-awareness in making sure Rees stayed and taking the time needed to hire Al Golden. Both Rees and Golden have demonstrated tremendous confidence in Freeman, also Balis. Can't leave Balis out of these conversations.
The entire staff faces a huge challenge getting their act together and getting the players ready for the challenges the schedule holds. Having Ohio St up first is great for it creates a sense of urgency throughout the entire program.
