I’ll be honest, I’m less than thrilled with the promotion of Tommy Rees to offensive coordinator on the Notre Dame football coaching staff. It just feels uninspired to me, but I shared those thoughts already. If you want them, you can find them here.
In the meantime, someone that knows a lot more about football than I do has backed Rees on social media with a ringing endorsement.
Great news for Notre Dame. He’s as sharp as they come, has played the game at a high level, and a Coach players are gonna go out and play their ass off for. Congrats Coach Rees, deserved. https://t.co/QUxZRK2qwR

There you go, nothing bad can happen if Quenton Nelson says it’s going to be alright.
If you’re a little pesimistic about the move like I am perhaps the best Notre Dame player in recent memory who happened to play on the offensive side of the ball will get you feeling a bit better about things than you were when you heard the news.
Nelson and Rees were never teammates at Notre Dame but Rees took over as the quarterbacks coach in 2017, Nelson’s final year with the Fighting Irish.
