As swapadem mentioned, the history of lazy incestuous coaching hires is examples A-F, with Rees the most ridiculous one yet.

Recruiting has been mired in "good but not great" territory, Kelly doesn't even pretend to go after the whales or mix it up with Saban/Swinney/Meyer. He recently was profiled as being "hands off" with the recruits and delegating to his assistants. Recruits have consistently named a lack of personal attention from Kelly as a factor in their decisions. Going in late on big name recruits is half-assed and not going to lead to success. Still picks up the "RKG" 3* and low 4* recruits that fit the profile.

Kelly can make the occasional lip service public statements about competing for NCs, but he knows after they didn't fire him in 2016 that he's been given permission to coast to retirement.

Tommy Rees after an alleged nationwide search for the position doesn't suggest that Kelly doesn't care enough about his team to strive to find the best, then I don't know what else will.

It's an incestuous hire of someone so young for such an important position at best and a monstrous dereliction of duty at worst. Kelly's history of lackadaisical coaching hires along with his later than sooner recruiting forays and misses - given all the advantages Jack has granted him during his long tenure here - suggest that Kelly hasn't changed a thing in his less than earnest approach to the game.

And I liked Tommy as a player.

Passing on Trautwein and hiring Quinn.
