What Notre Dame OC Tommy Rees said about viral video yelling at Drew Pyne
Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees has jokes. And a pretty solid poker face.
Rees was asked about the viral video of him yelling at Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne through a press box telephone to where Pyne was standing on the sideline in South Bend in the first half of Notre Dame’s 24-17 victory over California. It doesn’t take an expert lip-reader to decipher what Rees said — er, screamed — to the junior.
“Do your (bleeping) job! The whole (bleeping) team is counting on you!”
Rees addressed the moment in a press conference Tuesday. He commended Pyne for being able to handle and respond to such a style of coaching. Before he did so, though, he looked at the reporter who asked the question and said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Hence, the jokes. And the poker face.
“Certain guys need certain types of coaching in certain moments,” Rees said in all seriousness. “I’m not proud of the language I used, but I know Drew can seek out and handle tough coaching and things to kind of light a fire and create a sense of urgency. In that moment, we felt like it was the right thing for the right player.”
