Most Irish fans are not happy with the way the Irish have played so far, but I don't think it is fair to blame Rees.
Our running game sucks. We are 85th in rushing yards, 79th in yards per rush, 99th in rushing touchdowns.
Our defense has been weak. We are 58th in points against. I could not find rankings for 1st downs and yards given up but I am sure we would rank poorly in those areas as well.
I would grade the Notre Dame coaches "C-", rushing game "C-", defense "D+", and Rees "B+". Rees is #7 in passing yards, #12 in passing touchdowns, #34 QB rating, and there are 72 quarterbacks that have thrown 2 or more interceptions (Rees has 2). I am not a fan of Rees, but I think he has played fairly well while our rushing game, coaching, and defense have been substandard. I just don't see how Rees is being blamed for poor play by the Irish.
