I believe Rees faces demotion and Parker elevated to OC if offense is anemic again
IF the offense is substandard again, given the bye week, I believe Freeman would pull the trigger and elevate Gerad Parker to OC and Rees would be strictly the QB coach. Anyone else think this is a possibility if the offense can't get going, especially if ND loses?

The Irish offense will break out today and move the chains with consistency.

Look what players transferred esp QB and best WR in CFB with others

That will never happen.
Nobody is getting fired or demoted mid-season. And after the season there would only be terminations, not demotion.
Why not? OSU did that last year with their DC.

I doubt it. It’s not Rees’s game week or in game coaching that is the issue.
His game plans, play calling, and in game adjustments have all been good. The Xs and Os are not the issue.
If you want to find fault, it seems to be roster management and player development.
For example, the QB room seems very weak overall. Misevaluating Buchner, not securing a portal QB or having Angeli ready to play demonstrates management ineffectiveness. This is not going to be fixed with a midsession change.
Likewise, the WR room is a bit of a mess. That is not going to be fixed by firing/demoting Rees.
His game plans and play calling have been awful save for the 2nd half against Cal

Rees is getting way way too much blame for this

That would make Tommy the highest paid QB coach ever.
Doesn't Swarbrick need to approve such moves? He's the one who retained Tommy, not Freeman.
Isn't he already the highest paid OC? Absolutely ridiculous
If he's getting paid that much it's inexcusable to have an offense outside the top 25. This offense is well outside the top 100.
He should admit he's in over his head. From what I read he turned down mentorship and Freeman had to go after a WR coach who also lacks proper experience to be in this role at ND. Rees refused the hiring of a much more experienced WR coach because he wanted more say in the offensive strategy.
Rees 100% owns this. From recruiting to offensive hiring. All the mistakes he has made in the last 3 seasons are forefront now. Kelly had a way of hiding the issues instead of working hard to improve them. Rees doesn't have the experience to hide the deficiencies inherit in this offense and he certainly doesn't have the experience to fix any of it.
At the same time, all the offensive coaches have to do their jobs too.
