Arr, in a most unexpected turn o' events, the renowned matey, Ryan Grubb, once a star o' the Huskies, be sailin' back to the great state o' Washington. 'Tis said he'll be takin' charge as the next offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks. Aye, a treasure indeed!
In a surprising twist of events, assistant coach Ryan Grubb has decided to return to Washington and take the offensive coordinator position with the Seattle Seahawks. This comes after it was reported that Grubb had finalized a deal to join his former head coach Kalen DeBoer at Alabama. Just a few days ago, Grubb had even informed Alabama boosters of his plans to guide the Crimson Tide offense in 2024. However, it seems that Grubb had a change of heart and opted to join the Seahawks instead.The Seahawks had recently been searching for a new offensive coordinator after their previous coordinator, Shane Waldron, left to join the Chicago Bears. Grubb will now likely work under first-year Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald. Macdonald, who previously served as the Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator, is now the youngest head coach in the NFL.
This will be Grubb's first coaching job in the NFL, having previously spent time with Fresno State in various assistant coaching roles. One notable player that Grubb had coached is quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who transferred to Washington in 2022. Penix Jr. is projected to attract attention from multiple NFL teams in this year's draft.
The Seahawks currently have veteran quarterback Geno Smith under contract for 2024, but his uneven performance in the 2023 season could push the team to consider drafting a younger quarterback to build their future around.
Overall, Grubb's decision to join the Seahawks instead of Alabama has caught many by surprise. It will be interesting to see how he fares in his first NFL coaching role and how the Seahawks' offense will develop under his guidance.
