I actually went and watched some of the ND offense and the more I look at it, the more I don’t hate the hire, he’ll be working with better athletes at Alabama than he was at Notre Dame, so we’ll really see what Rees is made of. Still, it’s not a splashy hire like a Riley or Kliff or Grubb, but the playcalling, designs, and creativity is something that has been missing since Sark left. My guess is that Saban wants to go back to a more physical offense less dependent on the QB, more RB & TE centric while still staying modern (aka he sees what UGA is doing).
I just hope it works out, hell I didn’t like the Sark hire at first and he ended being the best OC we ever had, you just never know.
