Ryan Grubb will serve as Alabama football’s offensive coordinator after all.
Grubb, who spent 12 previous seasons with DeBoer in a variety of roles, was with DeBoer at Washington, Fresno State, Eastern Illinois and Division II Sioux Falls. Grubb was originally brought to Alabama after DeBoer’s hiring last offseason but decided to stick in Seattle after being hired as the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator.
Grubb was fired after one season in Seattle, bringing him back to Tuscaloosa after emerging as one of the top play callers in college football with the Huskies.

And now we know what that personnel is, the staff that’s here can help Ryan really know and have a leg up on how to keep us moving in that direction and be better next year.
“Then, obviously, Ryan’s been through a year now, too, at the highest level there is in the NFL. And so taking some of the things he’s learned and bringing that to us, too. We did some things to have to adjust. He did some things to have to adjust. And we know what our base foundation is. It’s really going to be cool to see us go through the spring and keep evolving like we have our offense over the last 15-20 years.”
Grubb was officially announced as Alabama’s offensive coordinator on Feb. 6, and DeBoer told Bama247 that Grubb will also be in the quarterbacks room.
