Ryan Grubb and Alabama football was a short-lived marriage — if you even want to call it that.
Almost one week after introducing himself at an Alabama event as the Crimson Tide’s new offensive coordinator, Grubb at an introductory news conference officially introduced himself to Seattle media, in the same role for the Seahawks.

Grubb on Thursday fielded an assortment of questions across different topics. Among them: why he decided to join new Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald’s staff after following Kalen DeBoer from Washington to Alabama.
He was never officially introduced as the Tide’s offensive coordinator, but was presumed to take the role after following DeBoer in previous stops at Sioux Falls (2007-09), Eastern Michigan (2014-16), Fresno State (2017-18, 2020-21) and Washington (2022-23).
“Thought about that process a lot of times honestly so just in this situation (this time) made it tougher,” Grubb said. “He (DeBoer) was getting it started at Alabama and I wanted to be there for him but I knew this is what ultimately I wanted to do if the right situation came up.
“The timing is so difficult to describe so I think that was the hardest part. … We knew this day would come and I’m excited for Kalen, he’s going to do a phenomenal job down at Alabama.”
