Nicky was playing 4D chess losing to a future member of the SEC that tried to hire him a while back and played like dogshit against a G5 school that went 1-11 last year.
Think Texas fans start chanting SEC SEC SEC if they are beating Washington in the 4th quarter?
They did it during the trophy presentation winning the Big 12 Championship on Saturday.
Given his quick rise and his very young age, I’d be absolutely shocked if he isn’t NDs HC at some point in the next 60 years.
Yes ND did. Rees didn't suddenly become a new coach. We would have heard about the changes he made, etc if that was the case. Instead, Saban even says that who Tommy is, is what got him hired. Rees smoked the interview and has smoked the season.
He had a pre-recruited QB at Alabama that someone else evaluated; the QB he recruited (Buchner) was not successful at Bama. (Indeed, he passed on JJ McCarthy, as far as I know.) And of course, at Bama, Saban is there to tell him what to do. It's an utterly different situation to ND's situation, where Rees was the one picking QBs and was not being instructed by a HOF coach.
"I think back to where we were, all the questions about our quarterbacks, whether we were good enough and what our identity was on offense, and you've got to give Coach Rees a lot of credit for pushing the right buttons with everybody, not just me," said Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, who went from being benched in Week 3 to finishing sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
Lol. And do what….he’s a defensive coach.
based off what?
