I don’t know if it’s a great hire but it’s not a bad hire. He may not be Lane or Sark but he’s better than BOB. I think he’ll do fine. The make or break or hire is on the other side of the ball anyways.

I'm not sure I believe that article on the Domer site. Sark had been in place for one season at the end of 2019, which is when the article said Saban was looking into Rees. Even if it was for QB coach, that seems odd since 2018 was the only season Saban hired a dedicated QB coach (Dan Enos).
I'm pretty sure I recall Rees being brought up as a candidate for a position at Alabama before. Not sure which one or when.

My exact feeling. It would ha e been nice to get a homerun hire bit getting the young guy with potential may end up being just that.
What is most important is Saban getting us the right DC.

i say this never having been at practice or around either man. but just from the energy level alone, this should be an upgrade hire. bob looks like everybody's grampaw while TR is a 30 something yo that was actually playing ball not to long ago.

Isn’t he the one who went off about BOB sucking arse when he was hired? Don’t know Erik otherwise, but that was a good call lol.

There's not liking a hire and then there's making multiple posts regarding how much he hated the BoB hire. BoB didn't work out here but his job performance wasn't at the level that Erik was predicting. A championship should've been won two years ago and last year's issue wasn't exactly the lack of scoring points.
This year's reaction is a bit calmer compared to the previous hire. He made some solid points but the argument doesn't hold up when you realize that 1. He's going to be running Saban's offense 2. Talent discrepancy between the two schools and 3. He was already highly regarded by coaches like Sean McVay and Brian Kelly, also apparently Saban a few years ago.
The numbers at Notre Dame won't wow anyone but when you're trying to find someone to run your system, there's a lot to be looked at and considered. I'm not thumping my chest or claiming this is a 100% amazing hire but I do think this is one of the more intriguing hires by Saban over the past few years and that calls for a bit of patience, especially for Erik.

Bob didn’t suck arse. He put up points. Golding got drunk and when we slipped in recruiting for a while at DL and LB his soft @ss D got exposed.

Bob couldn't catch and Pete couldn't tackle. Maybe these new hires can do both better.

Kind of begs the question - how close are Kelly & Saban? Kind of like a 1/2-intensity Belichick deal? Not at all? Just wondering where this hire came from.

I am not sure you understand the credentials of some of our posters.

Is that William Taylor putting in work with the downvotes on here?

Well Washington being no 2 overall on offense and Tcu being 27 vs Notre Dame being 60th. I mean those are facts easily looked up.
Yeah, and Western Tumbleweed Texas was a top ten defense when we hired Peter Golding.
I doubt Washington or TCU faced many defenses worth a damn. What did TCU score on the SEC team they played ? 7 points ?

If you're using that context, then 60th against Notre Dame's competition is even less impressive

So, those rankings are not advanced metrics based.

Has there been an announcement from Alabama? Can we expect an introductory press conference?

BoB ran an offense that was not a good fit for the college game and he refused to adjust. I’m glad he is gone.

We all are. Rees is not a big name hire, but reading this piece I must say I'm starting to like the guy:
