Social media speculates on Tommy Rees following Nick Saban’s retirement
It was only a year ago that Tommy Rees left Notre Dame to become the offensive coordinator on Nick Saban’s Alabama staff.
Fast forward to today. Nick Saban has retired and the future of Tommy Rees has become a question across college football. The up-and-comer played quarterback at Notre Dame and eventually became the quarterbacks coach and play-caller for the Fighting Irish.
What does the future look like for Tommy Rees?
Does he stay on the new head coach’s staff in Tuscaloosa?
Does he join Brian Kelly’s staff at LSU?
Does he find a way into the NFL?
Social media was abuzz about Rees following the Saban retirement news. Here are some of the best reactions.

Nick Saban watching Tommy Rees dial up one last stinker while the sun sets on the greatest venue in football and deciding to just live the rest of his life in peace is beautiful. Good for him
