Grubb, an Iowa native, coached with DeBoer at Fresno State and Washington. He orchestrated an offense for the Huskies that produced a two-time 4,000+ yard quarterback in Michael Penix Jr., a 1,000+ yard running back (Dillon Johnson), and four 1,000+ yard wide receivers in 2022 and 2023. Grubb guided Washington’s offense to 14 victories in 2023, including a Pac-12 Championship and a berth in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Rumors and speculation began to surface on Grubb possibly leaving the Crimson Tide for the National Football League to coach the Seattle Seahawks. He put the rumors to bed on Wednesday at a Red Elephant Club event inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Grubb is staying with the Tide.
