The off-season just isn’t about recruiting and getting your team prepped for next season, for [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] it’s turning out to be their effort to keep one of their coaches. There is a report that Irish offensive coordinator [autotag]Tommy Rees[/autotag] is now being looked at by [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and Alabama as their next offensive coordinator.
The Crimson Tide lost [autotag]Bill O’Brien[/autotag] to the NFL and they have been unsuccessful in their search for a replacement. According to ESPN’s [autotag]Chris Low[/autotag], Rees is expected to be at Tuscaloosa today to discuss the job with Saban.
This would be a loss for the Irish, especially considering Rees made the proper adjustments to the offense after early season struggles after the injury to quarterback [autotag]Tyler Buchner[/autotag].
Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees has emerged as the top target for @AlabamaFTBL’s OC job. Rees has had discussions with Nick Saban and is scheduled to be on campus Thursday, sources tell ESPN. Saban is looking to replace Bill O’Brien, who left for the Patriots’ OC job.
