Former Notre Dame star gets major NFL coaching gig

Tommy Rees now gets an OC job in the NFL. Congrats to Tommy!

Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback [autotag]Tommy Rees[/autotag] has just nabbed a high-profile NFL coaching job.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Rees will be the new offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns.

Rees was at Notre Dame from 2010-2013, starting 30 games — including 12 in 2011 and 2013.

He returned to campus in 2017 as quarterbacks coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2020. He left in February 2023 to be the offensive coordinator at Alabama.

A year later, Cleveland hired him as pass-game specialist and tight ends coach. Now the 32-year-old Rees has been given a bump.
