"Eric Hansen: Hi Marie. As far as a sounding board for Tommy Rees, it's a different dynamic this season. I'd say he bounces ideas off all of the other offensive coaches, including O-line coach Harry Hiestand and TEs coach Gerad Parker, the latter of whom has offensive coordinator experience. ...

I was told that concept was pitched to Marcus Freeman, and that he was open to that this offseason, but I was also told by a good source that Rees was not open to it."
