Tommy Rees - Offensive Coordinator

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Hooray!

Hope the qb room stays together, but frankly it’s just been so damn much drama with him, it’s a good riddance situation. Will be fun listening to Bama people bitch about him, I guess. I sincerely hope he’s never back in any capacity.

Let’s go get a winner, MFMF.

Well at least now all the Rees haters can STFU.

Until a new OC is hire that they can bitch about..... You know who you are.

 

[lcaps20]

He wasn't the first choice. He was like the fifth choice, or something. Finebaum said Saban was "far into his search" before calling Tommy Turnovers.

Yeah man, I'm sure Alabama's fifth option is an average offensive coordinator. Some of you posters are in such a hurry to hate on Rees that you lost all logic

 

[FollowTheFreeman]

Touchdown Tommy becomes Tuscaloosa Tommy.

Wish him the best of luck, I was looking forward to see what he could do with this years offense, but at least he left it in a good place. Hope he does well and comes back to be HC for us.

Given the success of Freeman's other hires, I bet he picks the right person for the job.

This probably is good for all parties. Tommy’s place on MF’s staff felt weird and forced from the jump. I wasn’t one that hated Tommy, but it always felt like an arranged marriage.

Like anything else the last couple of years, the future will hinge on MF (and Jack’s) ability to hire their top target(s).

Will be interested to see if Tommy targets any of the offensive staff to head to Bama with him. Alabama’s offensive assistants are pretty high caliber already.

 

[dublinirish]

the Greg McIlroy piece about Bama returning to Twelve Personnel Man-Ball seems to be making some Bama fans happy tbf

 

[Kingbish01]

At least Bama has the athletes to turn those 4 yard outs on 3 and 10 into potential first downs...🙄

i'll lol when TR is keeping 5 star WR's on the field in favour of 3 TE sets

 

[T-Boone]

Yeah, plenty of average coordinators get hired at Bama. Find a new point to troll about now

I’m no troll. I have always just thought Tommy was an average OC. Which he was.
This is the last I’ll say in this thread.
It’s happy days.

I'll LOL if he stops running draws on anything greater than 3 and 11

 

[IrishSpartan]

Alright how long until Bama fans kill Tommy

Side note: do he go after Buckner?

 

[GreenGemsOmally]

Apparently he didn’t love this place like he said he did.

He loved it enough to stay for the first year and be a part of stabilizing everything, and then is offered to coach under the GOAT. I can't blame him at all for taking this career opportunity.

One offer was to go with Brian Kelly and continue coaching under the same guy he had already done so for a long time, and the other is to take a new job opportunity to learn from the greatest college head coach of all time. It's not even remotely the same.

A) Jaden Rashada signs with ASU

2) Tommy hired by Alabama

III) Drew Pyne to Alabama confirmed

Seems like T-Boone and Irishman77 agree.

And me and Nick Saban agree.

I wonder which pair of us has more football knowledge? (spoiler: I know almost zero about coaching football)

He ran that here because it was all he had. Look at the Coan team last year... Tom is going to be wide open at Bama.


I was wrong. Never thought he'd leave for a lateral position. I don't wish him ill, but he can get fucked.

 

[South Jersey Domer]

Oh, glorious day! Now Tommy Rees, his Mickey Mouse offensive playbook, and dopey playcalling can be Bama's problem.

This news made my day!

 

[Kingbish01]

If they watch the 2nd half of the Fiesta Bowl against Okie St...they may kill him before he signs his lease. Forget about his gameplan and play calling against Ohio St, Marshall, California and Stanford.

 

[Giddyup]

Hopefully he takes Hiestand with him. We can do better. HH cost us the start of the season.

 

[stlnd01]

Some of you all are seriously butthurt you won't have Tommy Rees to complain about anymore, huh?

 

[Giddyup]

For all the Tommy haters this has to be the biggest repudiation ever. Must suck to officially now know you don’t know offensive football.

 

[Henges24]

A) Jaden Rashada signs with ASU

2) Tommy hired by Alabama

III) Drew Pyne to Alabama confirmed

Why couldn’t 3) be…Hartman to Alabama?

The cherry on top. Back to square one for a QB. The excitement would cease.

 

[NDMatt91]

I don't see how anyone can blame Tommy for taking the opportunity to be the OC at Bama. I wish him well.

 

[notredomer23]

this thread is gonna be hilarious when Bama wins the title running a Wimbush style offense this year

 

[pumpdog20]

Alabama offensive lineman better work on their stance endurance. Have to hold that pose while all that shift and motion is going on.

Buchner Heisman

 

[Irishman77]

The path to a Natty is officially open. What a glorious day for Notre Dame football.

LET’S GO!!!!!!!!

 

[Irishdrunk]

I keep looking at the news. I am praying for this. Lets get an OC to really open this offense up.

I am concerned that Freeman might go with a run oriented OC. But it is his team and I am happy he will be able to finally decide his own OC.
