Nick Saban has had two full seasons to find an OC.

The day BoB was hired, Saban knew he'd be heading out now.
If Tommy Rees is hired, it represents a failure and a legit indicator the decline has begun. For years now, this board creams itself at the end of every season believing something, anything will signal the demise of Nick Saban and Alabama. One bullshite failure fantasy after another.
Welp. This may be it. Two full seasons to hire an OC and this may be all Nick Saban and Greg Byrne can cough up.
Is this how it is? If a quality guy isn't tarnished or doesn't in some way need to be re-habbed, does he stay away from Alabama? Is this what it's come to? Can Nick Saban only get elite guys if they're in some way fricked up and need to eat some shite to get back on track?
Was there anybody out there worth a shite who could've benefited from the Saban rehab program this season? Is this why Alabama may end up with Tommy Rees?
Maybe, maybe not.
Tommy Rees may very well be the failure fantasy that actually comes true.

Well you tell me. A guy is what his record says he is and Rees' record says he's a bottom of the barrel guy.

Damn, really gonna hurt your troll game. Tough scene I guess.

Some guys can't be rehabbed.

This isn't a troll but if you need to believe it is, go ahead.
When or if Saban promotes Todd Grantham, and people point and laugh at that shite. Are you gonna call that trolling too?

I didn't say this was a troll.
Hiring Grantham as sole DC would be a disaster. He had a 20 year track record in this league with high level athletes and the track record sucks.
Rees is a 30 year old with 3 years experience with non-NFL skill guys and 2 of those 3 years he produced top 20 efficiency offenses. The 3rd his QB got hurt right off the bat. He's far from a home run, but he's certainly not a disaster and he's absolutely going to be better than the last guy. Very much wait and see. At worst he annoys the shite out of us by being too cute with play calling, at best it turns out he really was held back by having Illinois/Iowa level talent at QB/WR.
Reactions were similar when Saban hired "worst offense in Cleveland" Brian DaBoll and even worse when he hired Sark ("he was awful in Atlanta" and "he didn't run the ball in the title game!"). People generally don't know shite.

I mean the other elite guys who haven’t fricked up are head coaches themselves

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I think Tommy Rees is a talented coach who needs some adult supervision at this point in his career. It makes sense he’s realizing that after a year under Freeman after initially wanting to stay at his alma matter.
I don’t know that the guy is Lane Kiffin but it’s not automatically a bad hire at all
If you want to melt about Grantham then go right ahead

He's obviously trying to duplicate Brian Kelly's magic by hiring his former assistant.

Well, aren't you just the little soothsayer? And all life can just revolve around your schedule, as you see it.
There's not enough bandwidth to try and describe how big an idiot you are.

Double wut?
This is some next level coping from you, George. Notre Dame has consistently had Top 10 talent at QB and all skill positions while Rees has been there

Laugh all you want but it's absolutely the truth. If Bryce Young isn't there the offense the last 2 seasons would have been an absolute disaster.
A 2000s NFL offense based around WRs reading coverages exactly the same and then breaking off routes with 19 year olds. The Patriots didn't even used to want young players because the system was so difficult to master, and we were running it with true freshmen. Shockingly it looked like our WRs we're running to the same spots half the time and/or running the wrong routes. Luckily Bryce was a magician and could run around and make things happen most of the time.

Yea, Notre Dame has been busting with explosive playmakers at WR for years. The top half of those classes has almost exclusively been OL, TE and defensive guys. They've signed ONE top 100 WR in the last 5 seasons. They've signed ONE top 100 QB in the last 5 seasons (he got hurt last year). Combine that with noted blue chipper Ian Book and it's surprising they weren't more explosive. Their recruiting rankings skill position talent would have them right around Kentucky in the SEC.
Rees is a gamble. I dunno how he'll do. He's young and pretty inexperienced and he's had some ups and downs. We've hired like 4 of those types before and had pretty good success with them. So I'll wait and see before I decide we're looking at 8-4 seasons moving forward.

What are you even on right now?
Ian Book was a very solid college QB and is good enough to be a backup in the NFL. Buchner was very highly rated.
Michael Mayer, Ben Skowronwek, Chase Claypool, Chris Tyree, Karen Williams, St.Brown, Logan Diggs are all NFL/future NFL guys.
I never said they were worldbeaters, but comparing their talent to Illinois is one of the most laughable things I’ve ever read on here. I had to double check it was you who posted it because it was so unfathomably ridiculous and I expected better from you
