College football world reacts to Tommy Rees leaving Notre Dame for Alabama

Reactions were mixed when the news came out…how do you feel about it?

Two days ago the possibility wasn’t on anyone’s mind, but 48 hours later here we are: [autotag]Tommy Rees[/autotag] is bolting [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] for Alabama. If you follow Notre Dame closely enough, you’ve heard enough about how Rees is seen nationally and his career desires, so you knew it was only a matter of time before he’d leave South Bend.

However, we thought it’d be for an NFL job or head coaching position one day. Not another collegiate offensive coordinator spot.

But that’s the world we live in, and Marcus Freeman begins what will be one the most important decisions he has had in his time at Notre Dame. Who will he pursue as his next offensive coordinator?

The news came as a surprise on Thursday but with everything seemingly pointing to Rees going, the report that came Friday felt inevitable. Here is how the college football world reacted to the news of Rees departing.
