Nothing has changed with Rees, regardless of which side you fall on. I am really happy they are likely landing Minchey. But, getting your 6th option at QB doesn't change the conversation much. He is a few days removed from his offense gaining 12 yards in a half of football against freaking Navy.
Not that it means much, but it seems like some folks have an incredibly odd way of showing it. I mean, in the next breath you make the remark about him being the "6th option." So while you say you're happy, the vibe just feels sorta somewhere else. You're not alone though, and I think I'm picking up what you're putting down ultimately.
The 6th option is a high four star QB they're flipping from an ACC Power Five rival. I don't know what's more convenient, saying Minchey is their 6th option, or how a few people are casually dropping the second half of the Navy game into recruiting related discussions, where again, you're not the only one. The lines with this guy are completely blurred for so many ND fans at this point.
It is probably worth reminding people, again, that the guy who supposedly couldn't recruit and always fucks it up is on the cusp of flipping a high four star QB where they said to likely wind up empty in this class. Somehow, someway, little to no credit is being given and feet are planted firmly. So be it. This had to be done, they had until February to do it and it appears it's in motion to happen. Be that as it may, some folks are popping off on TR regardless of the positive impact this potential and likely signing is going to have on the class and the program moving ahead.
Objectively, there are clearly areas for improvement for Rees in every aspect of his job, but to see how this recent development and the news therein is being met by the contingent of people who have their minds made up that he's the football anti christ is pretty telling. If one truly didn't know any better, they'd just assume ND not sign Minchey so they had that reason to complain.
