Seahawks Fire Offensive Coordinator Ryan Grubb After One Season

Head coach Mike Macdonald cites differing visions for the offense following a 10-7 season and struggles in the running game.

Ryan Grubb was dismissed after one season as the Seahawks' offensive coordinator, with head coach Mike Macdonald confirming the decision on Monday.
The Seahawks ranked 28th in rushing yards per game (95.7) and 18th in points per game (22.1), falling short of Macdonald's vision for a physical, run-focused offense.
Grubb, hired from the University of Washington, had no prior NFL play-calling experience and faced challenges with offensive line injuries and inconsistent rushing production.
Quarterback Geno Smith defended Grubb, praising his system and leadership, while also setting career highs in passing yards (4,320) and completion percentage (70.4).
Macdonald announced an immediate search for a new offensive coordinator, potentially targeting candidates with NFL experience and a shared vision for a balanced offensive approach.
