Tommy Rees - Offensive Coordinator

[ColinKSU]

Well, as a Bama fan, I'm not impressed by Tommy so far. I wasn't sure what Saban saw in him when he hired him, but I trusted that he knew what he was doing and Tommy was going to be the next offensive genius to hit our sideline. Not so much. This has been three weeks of boring, predictable, incompetent, and lacking in execution or preparation. I've seen us look better in the 4th quarter when the 3rd string was in running out the clock. Tommy can update his resume and start thinking about where he's gonna be in January.

You literally described Tommy Rees’ offenses at Notre Dame. The only reason you didn’t hear anyone with a platform point it out was *Tommy and his dad were their inside sources and they couldn’t burn that bridge.*

In our defense Bishop we warned yall

 

[GATTACA!]

They just don't seem to have been developed well

Surely Tommy can sort this out

It's gonna be a long sad season. 😒😪🏈

I remember how people went so nutso on me when I was happy Tommy left. Obviously there have been some converts since then. Its refreshing to have a decent offense for once.

 

[DCK_1981]

We got shut out for a half against a terrible Stanford team last year and now Bama fans are acting surprised that they are struggling 😂

 

[Irishman77]

You are an asshole, plain and simple. Notre Dame had no other options, Tommy rose up and became the best possible hope during his time. He did everything he could and he wasn't gifted like Lawrence. He just gave us everything he had after our promising 5 star showed he couldn't operate in the bright lights. He kept ND from falling off a cliff when the other QBs around him fell apart.

LOL. What’s your next excuse for Tommy boy?

 

[Irishman77]

It's an absolute shame that all fanbases have rotten eggs like you, and have to share their fandom with people who can tarnish other people's perceptions of a team and their fans.

Read the room....your takes are terrible.

This didn’t age well. Accept reality.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

It's gonna be a long sad season. 😒😪🏈

You’re first since 2007. You’ll be ok

 

[Irishdrunk]

Yep usual Homer, fanboy posters went crazy when posters like us were happy Saban was actually dumb enough to take Tommy off our hands.

Don’t criticize Savvy Jack or the BOT either….

I'm actually slightly surprised by Alabama's execution on offense. I thought their OL and skill position talent would've been able to hide some things, but I was very wrong. Turns out his scheme sucks, and it doesn't matter if he's calling plays in South Bend or Tuscaloosa.

I'm not sure what will get him fired first, the inability to score or not being able to develop talent. Either way, I'll be very surprised if he's still employed in December.

Rees, Jurco, Pyne, and Buchner have all left ND and have sucked ass. That is a pretty bad run of evals for BK.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Former ND quarterbacks today:

5-13 52 yds., 0 TD 2 INT
8-20 81 yds., 0 TD 3 INT
5-14 34 yds., 0 TD 0 INT

I don’t know what to make of that, exactly, but that’s something to behold.

 

[50milesSE ND]

I’m ok if Tommy comes back home. Someone’s got to clean toilets , empty trash cans, sweep the floors!

 

[NDohio]

Didn’t watch the game. I am curious though, how did all those five stars for Alabama perform today?

 

[NDRock]

Has Bama's QB recruiting the past few years dropped off? I can't see any other OC's doing much with the Bama QB's and OL

The above average OCs could, which Rees is apparently not one of.

It's really remarkable.

Note who liked/loved it too.

 

[Free Manera]

I took the under and USF as soon as I heard Buchner was starting. I was not disappointed 😂😂

 

[ND87]

Anyone conducted a wellness check on TTown ?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I have zero doubts he tried to get Hartman to come down there with him. He absolutely knew what he was walking into.

He better just go with Simpson come hell or high water at this point.

 

[BobbyMac]

I just tried to edit this thread title to match Phil's but I don't have that level of wizardry. It should read:

Tommy Rees - Offensive Chudinator​

 

[KPENN]

I still can’t believe Nick Saban hired him.

 

[Fbolt]

Wonder what the Elephant boards are saying?

 

[ulukinatme]

No, we've brought in some highly rated prospects. They just don't seem to have been developed well or to have panned out. We've landed a bunch of studs who turned out to be duds.

This sounds like our QB evaluations prior to Hartman/Minchey/Carr, although the later two remain to be seen of course, but they look better on paper than the 3 before them.

 

[INLaw]

Finebaum talking shit about Tommy Rees has put me in a conundrum. One of the worst Alabama sycophants ever.

It’s ok to hate everyone involved. Don’t have to be a winner

Add Hendrix, Crist, Zaire,Kiel and Golson to that list.

Its all a great dumpster fire!! Courtesy of BK's unnecessary loyalty and stupidity on evaluation of Tommy for real, ND's BOT and the AD office and Saban's stupidity (for once). I am loving it!!

 

[HouseofPain]

Gets me is Rees was all about the "Im stickin with ND" when BK left (which probably a lot more about BK being a terrible person to work with) then fast forward one year and it's "Im outta here!" when Saban comes calling.
So what it really comes down to isnt the love for ND but not wanting to follow a tyrannosaurus of a boss to his new job.

Well in retrospect the way BK oversaw the offense and protected Tommy, he would have been smart to have gone to LSU w BK where immediate championships are not expected in Year 1 and BK would protect him.

Saban will not be overly loyal like BK.
