Report: Seahawks hiring Alabama's Grubb as OC

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb in the same role, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Grubb was Washington's OC last season but recently accepted the position with the Crimson Tide. The 47-year-old was interested in Washington's head coach vacancy after Kalen DeBoer departed for Alabama. However, the program ultimately hired former Arizona sideline boss Jedd Fisch.

Grubb led a Huskies offense that ranked 12th in the country in total yards per game (462.1) and 13th in points per contest (36). Quarterback Michael Penix ranked first among all Division I signal-callers with 4,903 passing yards.

Washington finished the season 14-1 and fell 34-13 to Michigan in the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Grubb takes over after former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron accepted the same position with the Chicago Bears.

Seattle averaged 322.9 yards and 21.4 points per contest under Waldron in 2023, which ranked 21st and 17th in the league, respectively.
