The disappointing thing is that unless Rees is a prodigy he is going to have a learning curve and it will likely cost us at least a game next year. Since Clemsom and Wisconsin are on the schedule, there isn't much room for error for the OUTSIDE shot we even had to win a title.
IMHO there was a better scenario for everyone. Hire a proven guy. Promote Rees to Co-OC. Let Rees learn from him. He leaves in 2 years and you promote a more seasoned Rees to OC.
