So let it be written. So let it be done. Not bad after his second game as offensive coordinator. 2 and 0, baby! With Kelly remaining Charles in Charge for the next five years, Jack's work is all but done. From USA Today, no less:

************************************

Irish’s Rees adds honor, could a succession plan be in place?

Rees came back home in January of 2017, as the quarterbacks coach before being elevated to the offensive coordinator before the Pinstripe Bowl last year. The meteoric rise among the coaching community has turned heads, today Rees was among 247Sports top 30 under 30 set of coaches.

At just 28 years old, Rees is among the youngest coordinators in the country, but one with incredible upside. “He’s one of the fastest-rising coaches in college football,” said 247Sports, as Rees made the list for a second consecutive year.

While his first game this year didn’t go as well as people would have liked, the Irish offense is still growing and the sample size is very small. Rees will find a groove, like the offense did late in the win against Duke. The potential for a high-powered offense is evident, there just needs to be other playmakers to step up aside from running back Kyren Williams.

Looking forward to what might happen with the Irish, Brian Kelly could be grooming Rees as his predecessor. Kelly just signed an extension through the 2024 season, which would put him at 62 years old when his agreement is set to expire. Kelly has hinted that he would like to hang it up soon, actually dodged questions about his pending retirement after the extension announcement was made. Last year Kelly hinted that he had 5 more years of coaching in him, which the new extension leads him up to.

This might be funny if it weren't so darn predictable.
