Yesterday’s news didn’t come as much of a surprise to Notre Dame football fans but it was news nonetheless as Tommy Rees was promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator.
One of the first to endorse the move was Notre Dame legend and two-time All-Pro offensive guard for the Indianpolis Colts, Quenton Nelson, who spoke up the former Fighting Irish quarterback.
Now one of the biggest names in College Football media has weighed in on the Rees promotion as Kirk Herbstreit shared his thoughts on Twitter Monday morning.
Incredible opportunity for Tommy Rees. Played QB as a Sr at @NDFootball in 2013. And just 7 seasons later is the OC at his alma mater. Players will love him-can’t wait you see how he does. Congratulations Tommy. https://t.co/n2BIkPycod

Herbstriet says that players will love playing for him, a sentiment that has been echoed by several former Notre Dame players on Twitter over the last 24 hours.
Let’s hope that beyond players loving him, that points are scored with regularity against the toughest opponents in 2020 unlike over the last two seasons.
