Sloan more experienced than Rees when BK made him OC at ND

I don’t know how the search went that led to Rees’s hiring as OC, but I suspect BK wouldn’t have a problem promoting Sloan. My guess is it hasn’t been announced because he’s already on staff, and he’ll be announced when the entire staff is announced. With Baker you couldn’t keep that out of the media.

He obviously felt Rees was a prodigy

Saban also believes that now and has said as much

Sloan had a chance to show it at La Tech and was just ok

I'd think that it obviously is centered around competency, as Rees was glowingly endorsed by Nick Saban. But, Sloan, like Rees, will have an intimate familiarity with the system as a coach and former player, respectively, in the system. I think that someone is going to have to blow him away or have former connections to take the job from outside of the building. I doubt that he's trying g to make a splash hire for the sake of splashing.

The fact that we landed the number 1 QB tells me that there is a plan and I’m sure it involves retaining Sloan. The rest is just background noise at this point.

It’s CBK’s offense and he trusted a guy like Rees to call it, then we’re sitting pretty, fellas.

Rees is a solid OC. Only so much you can do when you are stuck with a low IQ QB like Milroe

I bet he blows up once Bama gets a real QB
