So a year later, why was Rees willing to get on a plane and head to Tuscaloosa after saying no to the Bayou? Pete Sampson of The Athletic joined the Paul Finebaum Show and discussed exactly that. Sure, money had some to do with it, but as Notre Dame fans know, the freedom to do what he wanted was a factor, too.
This might be true. Kelly is an offensive coach and is more hands on on that side of the ball than Saban is. But here's something to consider:
2021 (with Kelly): Total offense #20/Scoring offense #18
2022 (without Kelly): Total offense #60/Scoring offense #42

That's worth acknowledging. Doesn't matter if Kelly were to bring in the NEXT Joe Brady, he has a good idea what he wants to do with the offense, and will make that happen.
Saban has always deferred to the OC, once he let them open it up. His instinct has been to go conservative, and rely on defense (and superior talent) to win. I don't think that gets you a title nowadays.

Alabama's offenses haven't been too bad under Saban as of late:
2022: Total Offense #11/Scoring Offense #4
2021: Total Offense #7/Scoring Offense #6
2020: Total Offense #4/Scoring Offense #2
2019: Total Offense #6/Scoring Offense #2
2018: Total Offense #6/Scoring Offense #3
