Reports: Ryan Grubb, who accepted OC job at Alabama, expected to go to the NFL

After accepting an offer to become Alabama’s new offensive coordinator, Washington’s former OC Ryan Grubb will return to the West Coast to become OC for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple reports.

Grubb spent the past two seasons as the Huskies’ offensive coordinator and was set to take the same role at Alabama for the upcoming season. But Grubb ultimately jumped at the chance to remain in Seattle and join the coaching staff of new Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald.

Grubb openly expressed a desire to take over as head coach at Washington after Kalen DeBoer left to become the head coach at Alabama. But after the job ended up going to Jedd Fisch the expectation was that Grubb would be following DeBoer to Alabama and become the offensive coordinator for the Crimson Tide.

Grubb is expected to bring Alabama offensive line coach Scott Huff with him to the Seahawks, sources told ESPN.

The move will thrill Seahawks fans who spent the past two years watching Grubb lead one of the most dynamic offenses in college football just a few miles away across the water at Washington.
