Tom Rees, the 26-year-old quarterback coach at Notre Dame, prefers discussing the team’s recent success rather than reflecting on his own playing days as the Fighting Irish quarterback. Rees is pleased to talk about how the Irish have performed well midway through this college football season.
He chooses not to focus on his past as a quarterback. Despite his achievements on the field, Rees is more interested in coaching and recently accepted a coaching offer at his alma mater.
Drawing parallels between this season’s success and the undefeated 2012 season where he played a key role, Rees tries to deflect attention and stay humble. While he may not recall every detail, his knack for remembering plays and strategies impresses both players and coaches, hinting at a promising coaching career ahead.
His sharp memory and coaching skills have already made an impact on junior quarterback Ian Book, who admires Rees’ ability to recall plays and details effortlessly.
