'Unicorn event' allows Grubb to stay in Seattle as Seahawks OC
RENTON — Ryan Grubb said he was all-in on making the move to Alabama and being the offensive coordinator for the Crimson Tide.
That was until someone Grubb connected with a year ago at the NFL combine reached out to gauge his interest in an opportunity that allowed him the chance to stay put in the Pacific Northwest and fulfill a desire to coach in the NFL.
“This is like the unicorn event in coaching,” Grubb said during his first availability after being named the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator. “So the fact I get to stay right here and do it in a city and in a place that I already love and I’ve had two years to kind of let it marinate as far as what (GM) John Schneider does here, and the ownership with the Seahawks and just how classy an organization this is and how driven they are to success it makes it really special.”
Grubb, along with new defensive coordinator Aden Durde and special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh all had their first introductions on Thursday. Seattle will be full of firsts at the NFL level next season — a first-time head coach in Mike Macdonald, along with first-time coordinators in all the key position of the coaching staff.
