Grubb, 47, spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator under head coach Kalen DeBoer with the Huskies as they reached the National Championship last month.

Instead, Grubb made a choice to come back to Seattle and move across Lake Washington to join the Seahawks coaching staff. Grubb met with head coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider on Friday.

During their two years at Washington, DeBoer and Grubb combined to deliver a 25-3 record with the Huskies. Michael Penix Jr. was runner-up for the Heisman Trophy after leading the nation in passing yards (4,218) and passing yards per game (324.5). He threw 33 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 13 games played with a standout receiving corps that included Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan, Ja’Lynn Polk, Jack Westover and Devin Culp.

Additionally, Dillon Johnson rushed for 1,195 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Grubb and DeBoer have been mostly paired at the hip since 2005, when Grubb first joined DeBoer on the coaching staff at Sioux Falls. DeBoer left Sioux Falls to coach at Southern Illinois while Grubb remained at Sioux Falls from 2010-13. However, the two reunited at Eastern Michigan in 2014 and moved together to Fresno…
