LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
Ryan Grubb was supposed to follow Kalen DeBoer from Washington to Alabama. Now he's heading back to Seattle.
The new Alabama offensive coordinator is taking the same position with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Grubb was reported to be the next Alabama offensive coordinator after leaving Washington last month. He goes way back with DeBoer, having coached together at Washington, Fresno State, Eastern Michigan and Sioux Falls, and was already considered a hot candidate on the coaching market after the Huskies' College Football Playoff run. He was initially a candidate to replace DeBoer before Washington grabbed Arizona's Jedd Fisch.
While Grubb's hire was never officially announced by the Tide, he had reportedly accepted the job and went as far as announcing “I’m Ryan Grubb, I’m your new offensive coordinator” at Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium on Wednesday.
Instead, the Iowa native will join the coaching staff of new Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, who joined Seattle after two years as the Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator. This will be his first job in the NFL after nearly two decades in the college ranks.
The reports of Grubb's hire weren't a huge surprise as, hours earlier, a Seahawks fan tweeted a picture of Grubb, Macdonald and Seahawks general manager John Schneider sitting together at a restaurant.
This development gives the Seahawks a rising star to call their offense. It also can't be ignored that the Seahawks are looking for a quarterback of the future and have the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, where Washington quarterback and Heisman finalist Michael Penix Jr. could still be available.
Offensive coordinator was the final significant hole remaining for the Seahawks to fill, as they were reported earlier Friday to be hiring Dallas Cowboys defensive line coach Aden Durde as defensive coordinator. Jay Harbaugh, son of Jim, will also become the Seahawks' special teams coordinator under Macdonald, with whom he coached at Michigan, while former Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier will serve as assistant head coach.
Meanwhile, Alabama is again looking for an offensive coordinator as this year's coaching cycle continues to drag on and on.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
