Tommy Rees, the resourceful Notre Dame quarterback who reinvented himself as a dynamic young offensive coordinator at his alma mater, is leaving for a new challenge.
Rees, who went 23-8 as the Irish starting quarterback during his playing career from 2010-13, has spent all but three of the past 13 football seasons on Notre Dame’s campus. Rees made brief stops at Northwestern and with the NFL’s San Diego Chargers before former Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly hired him to tutor quarterbacks on Jan. 24, 2017.
After three seasons apprenticing under offensive coordinator Chip Long, Rees was named as Long’s replacement shortly after the veteran coach was fired ahead of the Camping World Bowl in December 2019. Notably, Long had met with Saban to discuss a vacant offensive coordinator role in January of that year.
All-America tight end Michael Mayer, a projected NFL first-round draft pick in April, rewrote the school’s record book for production at his position with Rees calling the shots from his perch in the coach’s box. The Crimson Tide haven’t finished out of the top six nationally in scoring offense since 2017. Under former Penn State and Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien, who coordinated the Alabama offense the past two seasons, the Tide finished sixth and tied for fourth in national scoring offense.
