A lot of ND detractors would like to see Rees move on from ND. There's a reason. Dan Orlovski breaks down the first play of the second half against Clemson.

matter if it looks good to an NFL guy. This is college. The game is different.
It is winning football but it does not lend itself to scoring tons of point. Hard to score 40 when your drives are taking 8 minutes each.

As for being the ND offensive coordinator, he is underwhelming. The QB room is a total mess, no 23 QB recruit yet, and he hasn't shown he could develop QB's. In case anyone wants to mention Book as an example, he showed no improvement between his first and last start. Rees also did better when he was chained to Kelly. I remember before the season began that many, including myself thought that Rees without Kelly holding him back would be lights out. It's been the opposite.
I think Rees just loved messing around with the X's and O's on his laptop. In the NFL, he would not have to worry about recruiting - it would be designing plays and game plans 24/7.
And who knows, maybe Rees goes on to the NFL and has phenomenal success.
But if his system is predicated on a great QB and he can only recruit Pyne-level talent, then he’s not the right guy for the job.
And I was always a big supporter until the woes at Stanford finally got me to trash him. I thought he wasn't trusting Pyne enough. But now it's obvious Pyne isn't the same QB he was last year.
Absent a transfer, TB is still our only hope to really elevate. We probably all want to root on the 'try hard' Pyne because most of us can relate to the kid, but as we've often heard "He'll be going pro in something other than football."
execution.
the leadership who developed the plan?

Wasn't always like that. Now I imagine a Rees offense with a dynamo QB. This could work.
(no pun intended are on him).....and before we anoint him as the "2nd Coming of Bill Walsh" after last week's game, i would only attribute 14 pts of the 41 to the offense!
