Ryan Grubb joined the University of Alabama football staff as offensive coordinator in February 2025 under head coach Kalen DeBoer. A veteran play-caller with experience across collegiate football, the NFL, and the high school ranks, Grubb is widely recognized for his innovative offensive systems and quarterback development. Prior to arriving in Tuscaloosa, he spent the 2024 season as offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, where his unit ranked fifth in the NFL in passing yards. Under his guidance, quarterback Geno Smith produced career-best numbers and set multiple franchise records. Grubb’s reputation as a top offensive strategist was further cemented during his time at Washington, where he coordinated one of the nation’s most explosive offenses and helped lead the Huskies to the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship game.
Grubb previously worked alongside DeBoer at Fresno State and Sioux Falls, building high-powered offenses that consistently ranked among conference and national leaders. At Washington in 2022 and 2023, his offenses led the nation in passing and were among the top units in total offense and scoring, while quarterback Michael Penix Jr. earned the Maxwell Award and first-team All-America honors. Grubb also developed standout offensive lines at Fresno State and Eastern Michigan, where his units ranked among the nation’s best in sacks allowed. A native of Kingsley, Iowa, Grubb earned his bachelor’s degree from Buena Vista University and a master’s degree from South Dakota State. He and his spouse, Stephanie, have one daughter, Falynn.
