HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two) Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation) if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!
Gotcha. Idk, guess we will see. IMO offenses don’t tend to stop working unless there are rule changes. For example, the explosion of HUNH offenses coincided with the elimination of the 25sec play clock and it’s replacement with the 49sec clock without the other associated NFL clock rules.
Believe I read where Grubb was DeBoer's offensive line coach at a couple of places before becoming his OC.
Wonder if Grubb could have any responsibilities in that area?
Best news we’ve had in quite awhile. He will make a big difference.
Yes lord haha what a lovely turn of events. If we can get huff too we are back in business
Hope we learns to trust the run more than he did in Seattle, other than this, I don't see a better or more advisable option. RTR let's get back and win it all next year!
So the staff has been doing something.*

I kinda doubt it.
College/pro football is QB centric. Teams don't bring in great QBs (usually judged by their passing skills) to hand the ball off or run RPO running plays.
FWIW, if TS is the starter this year I suspect there will be true balance between our passing and running. And I don't look for TS to use his legs like JM, although TS is probably a better overall rusher than JM. Just because he might not outrun JM in a straight line race doesn't mean he can't "rush" the ball well/better than JM, who was really not that good except going north and south.
And the biggest win here with bringing in Grubb to hopefully run the Penix offense we saw at UM is for the young, freshman phenom QB who's coming in this year!
I hope some sort of multi-year commitment was secured, the last time he was employed by CKD he barely made it past signing day.
I hope this is more than a one year band aid, I hope Grubb sticks around. Leaving after one year would only set this team back.

I hope so too. FWIW, I doubt what happened last time will happen again.
Don't know CKD's philosophy on hiring coaches, but I liked CNS's 2 year agreeement.
But hopefully Grubb is around for at least a couple of years!

I'm hoping his NFL performance was dismal that nobody wants him. That being said, I hope he is better at Bama!
EXCELLENT,. Hey guys, let's get the band back together, we were pretty good.
OL Coach that has a good history of working with DeBoer and Grubb.
This ^^^ puts a little bit of a sour on this hire for me. Rumors swirled his wife or both he and his wife had no interest in living in Tuscaloosa, but I think it was the South in general not T Town specifically. He has an established pattern of showing he didn't want to be here, which started before CKD even got here. Saban has publicly said he tried to hire Grubb MULTIPLE TIMES and was turned down every time. Then he came with DeBoer and what seemed like 24 hours later bolted out of town on the first thing smoking. That establishes (for me) truth to the rumors of "they don't want to be here". So what's changed now from then other than he got fired and doesn't want to sit out of football for a year? His flight risk after one year is very, very likely, IMO. Which one year and done is something we do not need. Just color me "meh" on this hire...
