Why so upset ? One would think you of all people would be celebrating.To me personally this is last straw, couldn’t stand him as player, or coach(more so developer than Xs and Os), just when it looked like he figured out how to recruit he leaves for same position elsewhere….he would have to become an insanely good coach to welcome him back as a HC
Sure, hire a guy who has openly stated he abhors recruiting. Genius.Hire Joe Brady.
Agreed.I hope his dad stays but doubt it.
Rees wasn’t exactly a hard recruiter until Freeman lit a fire. I doubt very many coaches love recruiting. Who would? It’s kissing the ass of little brats and their money monger good for nothing parents and uncles only to get hat table disses after wasting time away from your family. You just have to do it.Sure, hire a guy who has openly stated he abhors recruiting. Genius.
He was leaving before Tommy decided to leave for BamaAgreed.
No, figuring out why his offenses have been average willI'm sure this will keep Tommy up at night.
ThisHartline would never leave OSU for the same job at Bama. Something is not right with ND.
He didn’t do good at ndWell, if was personal and important to you, I am sure everyone is breathing a huge sigh of relief that he is gone. Said no one ever.
Then you realized you can’t throwFor just a moment I thought you were leaving this forum and I almost threw a party
I’m good with him gone if nd was preparedGuessing the majority of this board is thrilled.
I bet I could throw a nice sized monkey wrench at youThen you realized you can’t throw
No, figuring out why his offenses have been average will
we get it; you hate Tommy Rees because you saw someone that was far more than you could ever be and thus you hate him for itHe didn’t do good at nd
that troll hates and thus logic and facts and anything that conflicts with his hate is ignoredRight. Nick Saban hired Tommy Rees because he viewed Tommy's abilities as being average. Makes total sense.
10 years? The 2014 QB coach at ND became the head coach of the Green Bay Packers in 2019. Get real. TR will be a head coach at the elite D1 level or NFL in 3-4 years.Now let's be adults and wish him well in his development. In ten years he may be a head coaching candidate we want back.
Every coach makes mistakes. His DC that he fired was a bad hireRight. Nick Saban hired Tommy Rees because he viewed Tommy's abilities as being average. Makes total sense.
Don’t bet what you don’t haveI bet I could throw a nice sized monkey wrench at you
But that would just dirty up a perfectly good monkey wrench
Saban isn’t an offensive genius….Tommy’s stock is on the up finally but going to bama or staying isn’t moving any differentRight. Nick Saban hired Tommy Rees because he viewed Tommy's abilities as being average. Makes total sense.
He does make more money than me, but gosh I’d whip him at golfwe get it; you hate Tommy Rees because you saw someone that was far more than you could ever be and thus you hate him for it
O’Briens like 7th stint with the patriotsEvery coach makes mistakes. His DC that he fired was a bad hire
I'm not saying TR is not going to be good but just because Saban hired him that doesn't mean he's a great coach.
Bill Belichick hired 2 OCs this year, were terrible, then he fired them after 1 year
Yeah I’m good if he does well too, just think this should eliminate him back to nd unless there’s some long term plan with jack and this is somehow part of itBummer. Wish him well and am looking forward to seeing who we can interest in the job but I’m not one who believes Rees was solely culpable for the offensive struggles in ‘22.
Looking forward to an OC who gets Tyree touches in space and utilizes his talents the right way.MORE ESTIME NOW !

Tommy Rees is leaving Notre Dame Football for Alabama OC job
Don’t get tackled by the cops on the way downwww.onefootdown.com
Agree but least of our worries….Estime with 20-25 Carries a game and Hartman accuracy with out talent ll use elite Ol….Looking forward to an OC who gets Tyree touches in space and utilizes his talents the right way.
Ok I’m glad you brought this up and maybe it’s already been covered but wth changed in a years time?Yeah I’m good if he does well too, just think this should eliminate him back to nd unless there’s some long term plan with jack and this is somehow part of it
Completely agree…. It may be as simple as he can’t handle being alum at nd and coaching at nd…. Or it may be major with freeman or jack not aligned with ReesOk I’m glad you brought this up and maybe it’s already been covered but wth changed in a years time?
Brian Kelly, his current boss, leaves for LSU and offers Rees a huge raise as his OC. Rees declines.
Alabama offers Rees a huge raise as his OC, Rees accepts.
There has to be more to the story.

The Kelly hate is real, lol. Kelly is going to win a national title at LSU. I’m sorry but it’s going to happen. Also I can think of a few reasons why Saban would be tougher to work for. He does seem to have a huge turnover within his staff. Now that you mention it Kelly can be just as abrasive as Saban but my main point was that Rees played and coached under Brian Kelly. Remember?Who wouldn't want to work for, and learn from Saban?
Saban 7 championships
Kelly 0 championships
It's not even close. lol
Wanna bet on that one??The Kelly hate is real, lol. Kelly is going to win a national title at LSU. I’m sorry but it’s going to happen.

Yeah I’m not betting in Kelly…. If he went to lsu 15 years ago he’d have more than 1Wanna bet on that one??
Lmao 🤣 🤣 really? Some people just have no clue….wow. The guy who hasn’t been able to recruit elite offensive talent is the better choice for Head Coach? You’re delusional 🤡Likely sooner than that. He would’ve been the better choice over Freeman.
Kelly doesn't win a NC you pay to a charity of my choosingWhat are your terms?
I’m ok with that. What’s the duration of the bet? You are gonna give me more than a year or two I hope?Kelly doesn't win a NC you pay to a charity of my choosing
Kelly wins one, I pay
Is this a serious question?What I don't get is... why did he leave for Bama, but not LSU?
We are ready. It seemed to me like we had to watch him start for 3 years. And then as soon as I wished him happy trails Tommy he was right back in as coach. We had a loooong period of mediocrity with only a few bright spot qb play in 2017 and 2020.Guessing the majority of this board is thrilled.
