RUMOR: Why Alabama’s Nick Saban Hired Tommy Rees As Offensive Coordinator
Alabama soccer coach Nick Saban appears to imagine that new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees may also help the Crimson Tide thrive with out a star quarterback.
Nick Saban employed Tommy Rees to be the Alabama offensive coordinator for the 2023 faculty soccer season, following the departure of 2021 Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Younger. Saban was impressed with how the previous Notre Dame OC was in a position to tweak the Preventing Irish offense, relying on which participant was beneath heart, in response to ESPN.
“I might say above all the things else that Rees’ dedication to working the soccer and the way he devised methods to get his greatest participant the ball, whether or not it was a working again like Kyren Williams or tight finish like Michael Mayer, needed to be a giant think about Saban’s choice,” an SEC offensive coordinator informed ESPN.
Younger was arguably one of the best faculty soccer participant of the final two years. Alabama soccer has main query marks at quarterback subsequent season, and the workforce is anticipated to rely extra on the run than it has in at the very least a half-decade.
Saban has coached nothing however NFL-caliber quarterbacks in recent times. Tua Tagovailoa preceded Younger as Alabama’s starter. Earlier than Tagovailoa, it was Jalen Hurts taking snaps for the Crimson Tide.
None of Rees’ beginning quarterbacks throughout his three seasons as Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator had been practically pretty much as good as Alabama’s latest sign callers. Rees nonetheless discovered methods for the Preventing Irish to achieve success.
Saban has gained championships with out a celebrity quarterback. Jake Coker was the highest quarterback for the 2015 Alabama workforce that gained the nationwide title. The workforce was led by Derick Henry’s 2,219 yards on the bottom.
If Saban, Rees and Alabama are going to win subsequent 12 months’s championship, it is perhaps similarly.

West Alabama’s largest hospital starting shuttle service while new parking deck is constructed
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBRC) – DCH Regional Medical Center will begin providing its own shuttle service Wednesday after using money donated to the DCH Foundation to pay for the two shuttles, affectionately called “shuttle bugs.”
One of the new shuttles is red and black while the other is yellow and black. They’re wrapped to resemble a lady bug and a bumble bee, thus the nickname shuttle bugs.
Each shuttle can carry as many as six people.
“We have the guest service team staffing the shuttles,” said Mallary Myers, Senior Vice President and COO for DCH. “They’re driving around, actively available to pick up patients, visitors, and team members.”
Parking at the DCH campus has been disrupted during the construction of a new parking deck.
The shuttles will serve people who must park in parking lots farther away from the hospital’s entrances due to the construction.
“I love the shuttle service because I wear high heels and it saved me today because I was parked way in the far end,” Ottia Phillips said.
Shuttles will run routes to all parking lots on the Regional Medical Center campus.
Drop off locations include the north and south entrances of the hospital, the Outpatient Center lobby entrance, and the Manderson Cancer Center.
