Breaking: Tommy Rees accepts offensive coordinator job at Alabama

Andrew McGuinness | Friday, February 3, 2023

For the second straight winter, the coaching carousel disrupted the coaching staff in South Bend. Few moments in recent Notre Dame football memory caused as much mayhem as Brian Kelly’s sudden departure to LSU last November. The departure of offensive coordinator Tommy Rees isn’t as program-altering — or as sudden — as Kelly’s exit. But,

From the Archives: False starts — Deceptively disappointing openings in Notre Dame football

Spencer Kelly | Sunday, September 18, 2022

The fanfare that characterized the beginning of the Freeman Era has all but silenced at this point.

Ted Lasso (and Marcus Freeman) > Brian Kelly

Letter to the Editor | Friday, January 14, 2022

“Have you seen Ted Lasso yet?! Did you hear it was nominated for 20 Emmys (and won 7!) this year?! It’s sooo good! You have to watch it!” I’ve heard this conversation countless times over the last several months, and I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment. Ted Lasso is a brilliant TV show, and its eponymous

Rees takes charge, leads Irish charge into Fiesta Bowl

Aidan Thomas | Friday, December 31, 2021

During Monday’s press conference, Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees fielded questions about his upcoming challenge.

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
