Fire Freeman. Hire Fickell.
Fickell brings Evan Prater as a grad transfer. We all continue to be mad because Prater isn't a pocket passer, but Rees' retention was part of Fickell's deal for some reason. Rees asks Prater to operate an old-school 7-step drop system, utilizing play action on every first down after having NOT established the run to make it a legitimate strategy with practical application. He does not believe in rollouts or even quarterback runs anymore.
We go to Rees' house to oust him ourselves after Prater has been ruined and Fickell has been fired for lack of offensive output, despite being a defensive-minded coach. We find that Rees has been an android this entire time. His android body self-destructs, as he has been programmed to not be captured. Many IE posters are maimed in the explosion.
There is a GoFundMe effort to provide for our families and cover our medical bills.
Nick Saban reads about this in his newspaper while eating a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie, and his heart is touched.
He calls Jack Swarbrick and demands a job offer... that he can relay to his good friend Urban Meyer.
Urban is hired. Urban wins 11 national championships in a row before Shelley Meyer is declared Queen of Indiana.
Urban's reign is long and prosperous, though he suffers a heart attack while being grinded upon by a co-ed at Brothers on Eddy Street, and dies.
Shelley releases Urban's secret diary years later. We learn that the Tommy Rees android was planted by Urban. He was instructed to bring about the slow demise of Notre Dame's offense with increasingly worrisome gameplans, until eventually they had no choice but to turn to Urban.
We still don't know why Jack Swarbrick was complicit in keeping Android Tommy Rees on staff.
