Alabama is still searching for a new offensive play-caller after Bill O’Brien left to take his old job with the New England Patriots, but coach Nick Saban has apparently zeroed in on one candidate, and it’s a coach that LSU fans might be familiar with.
Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees is the top target, as was first reported by ESPN’s Chris Low on Thursday. Rees is a former Fighting Irish quarterback who was hired as the quarterbacks coach at his alma mater by Brian Kelly in 2017. He was later promoted to offensive coordinator in 2020.
