Ryan Grubb spent the past couple of seasons helping construct the Washington Huskies' prolific offense. The star assistant coach then appeared to finalize a deal to join his former head coach Kalen DeBoer at Alabama.

Less than three days ago, Grubb even reportedly informed Alabama boosters of his intentions to guide the Crimson Tide offense beginning in 2024.

But in a surprising turn of events this week, Grubb decided to return to the state of Washington and take the offensive coordinator job with the Seattle Seahawks, NFL Network reported.
