Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees has reportedly emerged as a top candidate for the vacant Alabama OC position.

Rees' decision will not come down to his compensation. According to team insider Eric Hansen, the Fighting Irish plan to match whatever offer is extended by the Crimson Tide program.

Rees has served as Notre Dame's offensive coordinator since 2020. In his first season at the position, he and the Fighting Irish fell to Nick Saban and Alabama in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

The former Notre Dame quarterback has averaged more than 32 points per game in each of his three seasons as leader of the offense in South Bend.

Saban is on the hunt for his next offensive coordinator following the departure of Bill O'Brien to New England earlier this year.

Saban and Rees are reportedly meeting in Tuscaloosa sometime today.
