re: Will Rees be able to make the qbs we have here better?

Personally, I have reservations about it because he is relatively inexperienced.

Rees has 3 seasons as OC and 6 as a QB coach.
Applewhite had 1 yr as OC.
McElwain had 5 yrs as OC at 1-AA, 1 yr at 1-A
Nussmeier had 4 yrs as OC
Kiffin had 2 yrs as OC
Daboll had 4 yrs as OC
Locksley had 8 yrs as OC
Sarkisian had 4 yrs as OC
O'Brien had 5 yrs as OC, 7 calling plays, 6 as HC.

So Rees is not much less experienced as OC than most whom Saban has hired, just younger. He has more experience than 2 and just 1 year less than 3 more. He probably has more general intelligence than all but maybe O'Brien (Brown grad in a real major), if not all, though that doesn't always translate, but it rarely hurts.
