Tommy Rees - Offensive Coordinator

[FightingIrishLover7]

Is Saban not supposed to say nice things about his pick for OC before game 1?

I mean, they're nice words, but Rees hasnt faced a single battle yet and has made no mistakes. Of course he's going to get high praise at this moment lol

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Tommy is a bright offensive mind and play designer. When his play calling and game planning catch up he’s going to be great. He just wasn’t very adaptable to defensive adjustments in real time while he was here. A lot of great coaches see something in him.

 

[calvegas04]

He lost us both Marshall and Stanford last year. Still has a lot to learn. But I think potentially he could be great if his ego doesn't get in the way like any coach.

Yes, no other coaches took part in that game

 

[GATTACA!]

Painful but watch this. 50 second mark, all day every day pre snap tells you they are letting styles go 1 on 1 with no help, you go to him all day every day, and heck he whipped his guy. This play should have been a 40 yd td instead it was a pick. No clue how you pre read decide to throw this out wide with all the coverage there. If he looks right and goes left like any good QB would know pre snap, he has easy throw inside for td.

Dear lord that one at 0:50 is so fucking bad.

 

[NDohio]

The large problem in that game is Tommy as QB and OC didn't have a QB prepared to play. Second half OSU stacked the box and took away easy short throws, marshall did the same. Buchner couldn't hit anything downfield despite having wrs wide open. Plus he threw one of his famous insanely bad pick 6's. Heck, he threw a pick earlier that almost was a pick 6. Gosh he was so poorly prepared

There's other reasons we lost, Run D, oline, team was flat, etc that fall more on freeman.

4:29. Same thing. Safety help on the near side and no help on the far side with 3 wide and only 3 in coverage. All day you identify best option to the right since there's 2 to defend 1 on the near side. if he goes right like any qb does, he realizes Mayer completely uncovered on 3rd and 3 for simple first down and potential big YAC. instead pick 6. Absolutely as bad as it gets QB play and that's partially on rees at minimum.

Both plays Oline protected great. I have no clue how you make both of those pre snap decisions.

Great - I was just getting over the uncontrollable tic that I had developed from this game and now you do this?

 

[Luckylucci]

Tommy's biggest problem was he had too much BK in his coaching philosophy. And that was my smarts and coaching is more important than your talent.

And, there is a degree of truth to that. Remember BK's famous line, "we put athletes on defense because we can manufacture offense." Well, up to a certain level that is true. But, it's not true when you're trying to win at an elite level. And, he just never really focused on putting himself in position to coach the elite QB's. He completely bumble fucked the covid cycle of recruiting. And, just as he started to figure it out and landed 2 of the best QB's he'd have coached to this point in his career...he left.

Don't show this to Balki. He will swear up and down that it was the right decision and Buchner is amazing and there is some other reason he threw another horrible INT that could have easily been another pick 6.

I'm glad Kelly won't be around to ruin Carr or Minchey. Seemingly every QB he had at ND regressed year over year.

And that was supposed to be his thing. It will be interesting to see how he develops at LSU. It will be interesting to see how we develop here too.

Unfortunately, Rees didn’t give us many reasons to be optimism that he would’ve ever developed Carr.

 

[Luckylucci]

I do believe Rees would've absolutely lit it up with Hartman. I think that was the plan for both of them until Bama made the call.

 

[ulukinatme]

I'm telling you guys...Tommy is a way bigger loss than you think. I think he was/is very, very good. It now appears Nick agrees with what I've been saying.

Don't argue with the armchair QBs, they know football better than Saban

 

[PutuporShutup]

You are never allowed to reference “coach speak” for any excuses

 

[NDdomer2]

What else is he supposed to say? "Gee, we really needed a new OC and there weren't many names out there. We interviewed a ton, got turned down a few times, and now we're stuck with Rees." ?

You could show us similar quotes to his previous OC hires to prove this point

Tommy singularly? No fucking way. Marcus Freeman didn't have his team prepared to play vs Marshall and that's really all there is to it.

It was not the offense that let Marshall march 90 yards downfield in the fourth quarter for the go ahead score. Whole team lost that game.

Agree but the player that individually had the worst game was Buchner easily … at the most important position. When the worst player starting is your qb that’s not good

 

[Ndaccountant]

There was nothing wrong with our schemes against Marshall. Our O line couldn’t open a damn hole to save their lives that day.

So, running game wasn't working and he couldn't alter schemes to adjust. But, nothing wrong with how the game was coordinated? Ok.

 

[Grahambo]

Tommy is a great coach.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

That's how pretty much all folks from the Chicago burbs act though.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Show his mug shot. He’ll fit right in and get instant street cred in the locker room.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

I still can’t wrap my head around the career arc of Rees. He needs to buy a powerball ticket:


-Should have went somewhere like Bowling Green, gets into ND

-Is buried on bench with no realistic chance of ever taking a snap, QB room implodes like the Titan submarine, and he gets run.

-Becomes happy after thought when a real quarterback emerges, said real quarterback gets a year suspension, and TR gets run AGAIN

-Graduates and becomes after thought, gets hired for high level position because Kelly is a lazy ass that loves nepotism hires

-Parlays job he had no business having into even bigger job he MIGHT have business having.

He might be good, that debate will continue. Nobody can argue he isn’t lucky.

Lots of coaches hire former players they have first hand experience with.

I can't argue with you on this. It sure appears that way. OTOH, I'm certainly hoping that BK & Saban see something the rest of us don't. Either way, we'll likely learn the truth in the next 4 months.

"Luck is what happens when hard work meets opportunity."

Rees is a work-aholic. He succeeded when given the chance because he was always prepared. Diminishing his accomplishments as due to "luck" is ridiculous.
