Jump to something in the NFL or take a lower school HC job. Right now. If u were advising him how to proceed, wouldn’t alabama seem like a good 1 to 2 year place if u were looking ahead?
Having coaches poached for better jobs is a complement. Whether u guys think that OC at Alabama is better than at ND is up to you. If I wanted to be in college as a OC Alabama is a good chance ti work under a great coach. And maybe Tommy realizes he has maxed out at ND. Or maybe freeman has supported the idea and endorsed it for Tommy’s development knowing freeman may want a more experienced OC. None of which we will ever know.
More power to Reese if he gets it, I don’t think Saban is haphazardly giving hime the job and we might find a great OC as a replacement.

Easy bosses are nice because you can coast, but hard bosses make you better. Saban can give Rees something Freeman can't.
It would be a mistake for TR to take a HC job. NFL might be a good move depending on the HC and amount of oversight.
can be attributed to him. Bill Rees has some connections with the Alabama management. Nothing against Tommy, you have to perform when given an opportunity... but I definitely think Bill Rees has opened some doors along the way.

Bill leave to follow Tommy if he goes to Alabama. But, Bill Rees always had a special place for ND as he rose through the ranks and it was a dream for him to have Tommy play and coach at ND. Story goes that Bill thought he would coach at ND in the 1980s when they were looking at hiring Donohue (his head coach at the time).

Seriously though, I hope MF already had a short list because Rees was always a short timer.
