Ryan Grubb Rejoins Alabama as Offensive Coordinator Amid High Expectations

Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb reunite to revitalize Alabama’s offense, facing challenges with young talent and past decisions.

Ryan Grubb returns to college football as Alabama’s offensive coordinator after a stint with the Seattle Seahawks, reuniting with head coach Kalen DeBoer.
The duo previously collaborated at Washington, where they led the team to the College Football Playoff championship game in 2023.
Grubb and DeBoer face scrutiny over their handling of young talent, particularly quarterback Keelon Russell, a highly touted recruit in the 2025 class.
Concerns linger over whether Alabama will repeat past mistakes, such as underutilizing promising players like Austin Mack, who saw limited development after early recruitment.
With Grubb’s proven track record of high-powered offenses, Alabama fans and analysts are eager to see how the team will perform under his leadership.
