Tell me Kelly isn’t going to bring Tommy Rees in

It's definitely a weird situation. If we were promoting Sloan, they would have done it by now.

I could easily see him hiring Rees. Both him and Saban has said that Rees is some kind of savant. I'd be fine with it, but my only question is would Sloan stay on under him or move on?

We lose Sloan and there's a 50/50 shot we lose Underwood in the coming months. Does Kelly want to risk that?

What?
He molded the Bama offense to what they had - and they were pretty freakin’ successful at it.

100% take if available.

So he’s good enough for Saban and CBK but not…let me check… Vastmind

K

That’d be a slap in the face to Sloan.

Bring Rees in for an analyst roll, and milk all the Alabama secrets from him. That’s what Saban did with all those former coaches

We don’t know the conversations Kelly and Sloan have already had about the situation. We don’t know what Sloan wants.

I suppose there’s always a chance that Underwood really liked Rees as well during his visit to Bama and decided on LSU just bc he liked the LSU program/BK over the other schools.

It’s also possible BK could’ve talked with Underwood to let him know what direction they’re going and he was cool with it. I know it’s not something he has to do as far as discussing hires with all recruits, but he isn’t just some recruit.

I like both. Rees was hamstrung by a rb that plays qb and supposedly cant read defenses very well. Rees coached Milroe up about as well as can be expected. Their oline was a mess also, average rbs and below average wrs. If Saban and Kelly are high on him, we should trust them.

Now on the other hand, I dont mind if Kelly gives Sloan a shot at OC. He's proved his worth with improving Daniels and grabbed Underwood. Its a win/win if Sloan stays on the staff either way imo.

I think Tommy Rees will be our next OC.

Here is what Nick Saban said about Rees, ""Tommy Rees is one of the brightest young guys that I've seen in a long time in this business, and he's been a great addition and brought a lot of positives to the offensive side of the ball in terms of his ideas and how he relates to players, how he presents to players, his energy and enthusiasm on the field has been contagious," Saban said. "I think I see a great trust in our players with Tommy and what he tries to do from a leadership standpoint on offense."

That's one he'll of an endorsement from a perfectionist like Saban.

Combine that with the history Coach Kelly has with Rees at Notre Dame and I think you will see the hand writing on the wall.
