Alabama football will have its fourth offensive coordinator in four seasons when the 2025 season kicks off.
On Sunday, Ryan Grubb was announced as the next Alabama offensive coordinator, a position coach Kalen DeBoer hinted at when he was at the Senior Bowl Tuesday.
While the Crimson Tide may have a new offensive coordinator, DeBoer won’t be losing his 2024 play caller.

Both Shephard and Sheridan worked with Grubb at Washington in 2022 and 2023.

Grubb follows Bill O’Brien and Tommy Rees, who were each of Nick Saban’s final two offensive coordinators. Grubb was originally DeBoer’s offensive coordinator hire for his first season at Alabama, but instead took the same post with the Seattle Seahawks.
