In life and in sports, management decisions are often questioned. The promotion of Tom Rees from Quarterbacks Coach to Offensive Coordinator is no exception. And while we all may have an opinion on the matter, myself included, it is worth noting that Rees is receiving overwhelming support from some big names in the Notre Dame and college football community.
From The Broadcast Booth
First on the list is Kirk Herbstriet – Herbstriet is one of the most widely respected voices in college football. He always tells it how it is, and for an Ohio State alumni, seems to keep his heart out of the broadcast booth as well as you will ever see.
Incredible opportunity for Tommy Rees. Played QB as a Sr at @NDFootball in 2013. And just 7 seasons later is the OC at his alma mater. Players will love him-can’t wait you see how he does. Congratulations Tommy. https://t.co/n2BIkPycod
