I seem to recall that Tommy Rees was a big part of why he agreed to come out of retirement.

Could losing Harry be a bigger loss the Rees if he retires again?

When he left the last time he was making 440K at ND. The Bears paid him 2.2million. Money talks!

If he went, it would be a massive loss compared to Rees (no offense to Rees intended). He stays as

Definitely. Imagine if we didn't have the OL playing like it did this year. HH's line carried us.

Relax. Harry isn't leaving. Neither is anyone else.

I don't believe illusions because too much is for real.

Hiestand came to ND for Freeman, and I'm quite sure he stays

He just started developing a new crop of linemen, and they showed very impressive improvement throughout the season. I suspect that he's going to want to be there for them, and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

He knows he has job security here, and we're happy to have him, since he's the best line coach we've had since Joe Moore.

He left because he and Kelly were oil and water. When Kelly left Hiestand was ready to come back that day.

HH came back because Brian Kelly finally left. Always loved ND.

Oil and water is a nice way to put it but it would be more accurate to just say that HH didn’t like working for an arrogant asshole.

Hiestad also was living in SB for several years after the Purple Faced Dancer let him go, I believe.
