There has been a giant development in the [autotag]Tommy Rees[/autotag] saga that seemingly came out of right field today. As you probably already know by now the Notre Dame offensive coordinator boarded Alabama’s private jet for a meeting with Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa this afternoon.
According to a report from Football Scoop, Rees has in fact been offered the offensive coordinator position at Alabama.
From the Football Scoop report:
Later Thursday afternoon, sources told FootballScoop that Alabama has already issued a preliminary job offer to Rees to become the Crimson Tide’s offensive coordinator.
Additional sources have told FootballScoop that the situation is not believed to be one about money; in fact, per sources, the initial Alabama offer to Rees was in the range of $2 million per year, on average.
It would certainly appear the ball is now in Tommy’s court. Will he stay or will he roll out of South Bend?
