Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb took to social media on Saturday night to announce that he will not be the next head coach for the University of Washington. He expressed his emotions, stating, 'Though I wanted to be, I will not be the next head coach at the University of Washington. With tears in my eyes, I know my last day in Husky Stadium has come.'

Grubb's Career with the Huskies

Ryan Grubb has been instrumental in leading the Huskies' top-ranked offense for the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator. His decision not to take the head coaching position comes as a surprise after his significant contributions to the team's offensive success.

Connection with Kalen DeBoer

Grubb's expected move to join former Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer at Alabama as its new offensive coordinator highlights their longstanding professional relationship. Grubb and DeBoer have worked together since their early days at the University of Sioux Falls and have collaborated at various coaching positions throughout their careers.

Impending Role at Alabama

With the anticipation of joining Kalen DeBoer at Alabama, Grubb is poised to bring his expertise as an offensive coordinator to the Crimson Tide. This move marks a significant transition in Grubb's coaching career as he takes on a new role at a prestigious football program.

Washington's Search for a Replacement

Following Ryan Grubb's announcement and Kalen DeBoer's departure to Alabama, Washington is now focused on finding a replacement head coach who can build on the team's successes as they prepare to enter the Big Ten. The university's commitment to ensuring the long-term excellence of their football program underscores the significance of this upcoming coaching appointment.
