Greg McElroy, a former Alabama quarterback and current ESPN analyst, has praised the hiring of Ryan Grubb as the new offensive coordinator at Alabama.
McElroy thinks Grubb’s hiring is a “great” move, citing his cerebral approach to the game. Grubb previously worked with new Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer at Washington, where they led the Huskies to the College Football Playoff National Championship game in 2023.
According to McElroy, Grubb is “amazing at creating confusion for opposing defenses.” McElroy believes Grubb’s addition could be the missing piece for DeBoer’s offense, especially with talented players like five-star quarterback Keelon Russell joining the team.
Grubb’s hiring has generated excitement among Alabama fans, who are hoping for a return to the team’s dominant form on offense. With Grubb’s expertise and the talent on the roster, McElroy thinks the Crimson Tide could be a force to be reckoned with in the 2025 season.
