re: Brennan on the Offense

Nothing to do with him never leaving Notre dame as an adult. Yeah it's well known by industry insiders like tigerfanfrombama what the inside scoop is.

Its been known that Kelly likes to meddle with the offense. No seasoned OC wants to deal with that. That's why Rees stayed at ND.

“I know what I’m getting with Coach Kelly,” Rees said. “I know what LSU is. That was the safer of the two decisions. I knew what I was getting into. Staying was a little more unknown. I know Notre Dame and know the players, but this is a new regime.”

How close was Rees to leaving as a result? By his own admission, he was all but gone at first.

“Initially, when you have the conversation, it’s like, ‘Hell yeah, this is exciting as heck,’” Rees said. “It’s an opportunity to go coach at LSU, at a new opportunity, in the SEC when you’re playing against [Nick] Saban, [Texas] A&M and recruiting against those guys. As a competitor, it’s exciting as hell. That’s what you do this for. And you don’t know if you have a job. This is the only job I have. I’m not guaranteed anything [at Notre Dame].”

Rees even browsed Zillow for places to live in Baton Rouge. Some of his close friends were fired up about the idea of him in the SEC. A graduate assistant had a verbal agreement to go with him. His girlfriend was on board. He had talked with several people about the job and about LSU, including former LSU offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald and Notre Dame play-by-play TV announcer Mike Tirico.

So Rees is now a seasoned OC. Some of you make up the dumbest shite just so you can be negative.
