Seahawks are hiring former Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who recently accepted the same position at Alabama, per me and @PeteThamel. Seahawks have filled their OC hole.

"I think Ryan is one of the best if not the best play callers in college football," said Jake Haener, a New Orleans Saints quarterback who played for Grubb at Fresno State. "Don’t get me wrong, Kalen is an unbelievable coach and has just as good of an offensive mind, but I think Ryan really holds that offense to a standard and holds people accountable. For me in my six years of college football and my first year in the NFL, there’s nobody even close to the type of coach he is."

It seems odd how it went down. If the Seahawks were willing to offer him the job and he was open
to taking it, why did it take so long? What was with the mixed signals and Grubb telling Bama alumni that
he was going to stay very recently? He's supposedly a hell of a coach, but his character is already in question.
No one will care by next week.

After this kind of makeover, it would seem out of place for the same old Geno as QB...

Yep, 6 more days of Geno on the roster imo. I agree with you but honestly him liking money doesn't make him a worse OC.

Where did Grubb say specifically he was staying at Alabama?

Where did Grubb say specifically he was staying at Alabama? he doesn't even have a contract, does he? There is a pic circulating showing Grubb schneider and macdonald at a pub in seattle having a beer - supposedly recently - so the rumor seems to be true. I like the hire, if that is the case. I would still keep geno in the mix as the best option until the heir apparent is found. With carroll gone and no meddling with the fresh blood OC"s i think the offense will look quite different and Grubb can maximize Geno's skill set and the weapons around him. Until a better option surfaces, and a rookie college QB is probably not it, I'm hanging my hat on the vet who knows the league as my fall back position until a better option surfaces. I don't believe a grubb hiring has any correlation to a Penix drafting. Zero. The way penix folded in the championship game - not a good look. Adding in the injury history, hard to believe schneider is going to take on that risk - except as a mid round pick at best. I would def consider him later in the draft, but I am not sure he is the answer.
