Alabama’s Football Team May Benefit from Ryan Grubb’s Return
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team’s offense has been struggling, and coach Kalen DeBoer is facing pressure to make changes. One potential solution is to reunite with Ryan Grubb, who served as DeBoer’s offensive coordinator at Washington. Grubb’s recent departure from the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent a single season as offensive coordinator, presents an opportunity for DeBoer to revamp his offense. 
Grubb’s experience working with DeBoer and his understanding of DeBoer’s system make him an attractive candidate. During their time together at Washington, the team’s offense thrived, ranking second nationally in pass offense and 12th in total offense. Grubb’s return could bring a much-needed boost to Alabama’s offense, which finished 42nd in total offense and 56th in passing offense this season.
While there may be some awkwardness in Grubb’s return, given his brief stint with the team before leaving for the NFL, DeBoer should consider the potential benefits. Nick Saban, Alabama’s former coach, faced a similar situation with Steve Sarkisian, who left the team for the NFL but returned to lead the Crimson Tide to a national championship.
DeBoer has already made changes to his defensive staff, and bringing in Grubb could be a key move to revamp his offense. It may require some tough conversations and decisions, but DeBoer should prioritize making his offense more competitive. With Grubb’s expertise and experience, Alabama’s offense could become a formidable force once again.
Ultimately, DeBoer should seize the opportunity to reunite with Grubb and give his offense the boost it needs. As Saban demonstrated with Sarkisian, sometimes giving someone a second chance can lead to great success.
