Alabama Hiring Notre Dame Offensive Coordinator Tommy Rees

Multiple sources are reporting that Alabama head coach Nick Saban is hiring Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees for the same position on his staff.

Rees will replace Bill O'Brien, who left for the New England Patriots job in January.

The 30-year-old coach played quarterback for the Fighting Irish from 2010-2013 and has been Notre Dame's offensive coordinator since 2020. The Irish went 10-2 in his first year as OC, losing to eventual national champion Alabama in the CFP semifinal game.
