Yes, google America First.
To be fair, really wealthy people, once they gain their wealth (usually exploiting more free markets), have always favored Fascism. Highly regimented, highly controlled societies are easier to maintain wealth.

Very good point. Without looking, I am wondering what a good OC in the NFL makes.
ETA
Just looked it up. Interesting. Median salary is $1.3 million with a range of $600,000-$2Million.
Top paid OC in the NFL? Bill O'Brien at $5 Million!

Didn't coach Saban just get through vetting the guy and gave him the job? So the answer is yes, Rees has truly been evaluated as an offensive coordinator.

If Saban chooses him, he must be the very best OC ever. Amirite fellow insecure Tide fans? I mean we are always the best ever, rite?
I thought BOB would be great and was very disappointed. Every Saban OC I haven't been excited about has been great.
Saban knows what he's doing. This hire will work out just fine.

He does.
And the OC's he preferred didn't want the job. That's how Alabama ended up with this guy.
And yeah, the guy has had enough talent to be more competitive than he's been. Let us not forget, Notre Dame is a program that recruits at an elite power five level yet plays a glorified group of five schedule.
Rees underperforms and that's just the way it is. This is the guy you hire when the 3 or 4 guys in front of him say no and it's simply time to move on with who you can get.
This is a settle hire. Plain and simple.

Bama fans spent all last offseason telling us that Notre Dame was loaded with talent.
And LSU fans insisting it was impossible to recruit at Notre Dame.

He achieved/underachieved as much Brian Kelly and both got hired away.

So, this argument works for your hire but not LSU getting Kelly?
