Grubb served as offensive coordinator under DeBoer at Washington in 2022 and 2023, and was set to join him at Alabama in the same role for the 2024 season. But Grubb instead remained in Seattle as the Seahawks' offensive coordinator, a role he held until last month.

DeBoer had Nick Sheridan serve as offensive coordinator in 2024 with JaMarcus Shephard as co-offensive coordinator. Both Sheridan and Shephard joined DeBoer from the Washington staff and worked with Grubb.

Grubb will again oversee the offense, which he also did under DeBoer at Fresno State in 2020 and 2021. The two first worked together in 2007 at the University of Sioux Falls, an NAIA school and DeBoer's alma mater.
