Nick Saban spoke glowingly about Alabama football’s new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees at SEC Media Days. 

Rees served as Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator last season. He was hired by the Crimson Tide in February. 

It is clear Saban is happy with the new addition. 

“Tommy Rees is one of the brightest young guys that I’ve seen in a long time in this business, and he’s been a great addition and brought a lot of positives to the offensive side of the ball in terms of his ideas and how he relates to players, how he presents to players, his energy and enthusiasm on the field has been contagious,” said Saban. “I think I see a great trust in our players with Tommy and what he tries to do from a leadership standpoint on offense.”
