In just a couple of weeks, Alabama football fans will be officially introduced to the Tommy Rees offense when the Crimson Tide take the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium for the annual A-Day game.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban made somewhat of an outside-the-box hire when he brought in Rees from Notre Dame. Rees is extremely young and lacks a ton of experience calling plays at the collegiate level.
On Wednesday afternoon before the Tide held its seventh practice of the spring, junior wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks spoke to the media and was asked about his early impressions of Rees.
“I wouldn’t say too much is new, but it’s a lot different. I’d say he is younger, got a little more swag in him. Everything is like, we can relate more.”
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that coach Rees has connected with the players so well. At 30 years old, Rees is just 10-12 years older than most of the players on the team.
It will be interesting to see what new wrinkles the young offensive guru will introduce into the Alabama offense and how well the players can execute his plan.
