The Seattle Seahawks had a real problem in 2024. Though the head coach had changed from Pete Carroll to Mike Macdonald, the offensive philosophy had basically remained the same. Macdonald, in his first year as a head coach, was tasked with rebuilding the defense. The offense was in the hands of Ryan Grubb.
It became clearer as the season grew old that Grubb was way over his head. He had never coached in the NFL before, and his scheme was great for college but not for the NFL. Seattle's offensive line wasn't good enough to support Grubb's ideas, but Grubb didn't know how to fix the line.
