N1UA is owned by the Crimson Tide Foundation and is regularly used by Nick Saban for recruiting trips.

As of the publishing of this article, the plane is back in the air on its way to Tuscaloosa. Rees is expected to interview today, per ESPN's Chris Low.

According to Pete Sampson, no decision has been made on Rees' end regarding the job.

If the interview goes well, it is more than possible an announcement of his hire could come as soon as today.
