An Apology: Tommy Rees Did a Great Job in 2023

What Rees did with Milroe from Tennessee on last year was elite coaching.

I wasn’t always blown away with his calls at the time, but he somehow managed to get Milroe comfortable enough with his initial read and run looks that for half a season we were an elite offense for and Milroe looked like a budding star.

I didn’t understand what he had to work with as far as the issues with penalties on the OL and the limitations at QB.

From TN on we had the #2 FEI offense in the country and Milroe was the #2 QB in ESPN ratings second only to Jayden Daniels who won the Heisman and is apparently going to be a star in the NFL. Given results this year that’s flat out elite coaching.

Rees deserves another chance at an elite school to call plays.
