It took multiple tries for Alabama to get offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb in crimson, but there is a word that can both describe the Crimson Tide’s persistence in hiring Grubb and his play-calling style: aggressive.
Aggressive is the word Grubb used the first time he was interviewed at Alabama in the spring. Head coach Kalen DeBoer has attached this word to what he wants to do offensively.
In 2024, Grubb was supposed to be the Tide’s offensive coordinator, but after a week, he took a job with the Seattle Seahawks in the same role. Alabama elevated then-tight ends coach and now-quarterback coach Nick Sheridan to the offensive coordinator position, but it happened under difficult circumstances.
