The Seattle Seahawks made the maybe unsurprising determination to maneuver on from offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb on Monday. Grubb was employed final offseason after main the high-flying College of Washington offense right into a Nationwide Championship look. Sadly, his first ever season within the NFL produced uninspiring outcomes, with the sputtering Seahawks offense taking part in a substantial position within the staff’s failure to make the postseason.
“It’s actually so simple as, I felt just like the path our offense was going was totally different than the imaginative and prescient I had for our staff, and I felt prefer it was a obligatory determination at this level,” Seahawks head coach Macdonald mentioned. “Ryan’s a heck of a soccer coach. We did some actually nice issues on offense this 12 months. Geno had a bunch of profession highs throwing the ball, and we did some actually cool situational stuff, I do know Jax had an important 12 months. So we did a variety of nice issues, it’s simply that my imaginative and prescient for our offense simply finally was totally different from the place I assumed Ryan thought it was going. So we respect the heck out of him, we want him one of the best.
Right here’s how social media reacted to his departure.
You’ll be able to persuade me the Seahawks OC job is excellent (Mike Mac is an effective HC and the QB is in place) and you may persuade me it’s very unhealthy (the OL is horrible and idk if DK is a Seahawk subsequent 12 months so now you’ve obtained WR issues)

we knew the seahawks had a foul OL, however the offense did not do issues to cover it. plenty of OTs on islands. plenty of regular dropbacks with out chips or backs to assist, and many others. https://t.co/8i008E8Fme

There are legit causes to make this transfer (mismatched philosophy, massive adjustment, no soar 12 months over 12 months)
However given the varied OCs through the years, onerous to suppose one other change would be the reply. The OL struggles are fixed and never enhancing, that lands on the toes of the GM. https://t.co/eJBs8Zv2Z9

It is dependent upon how individuals outline philosophy however I do not suppose Grubb and Macdonald had philosophical variations (at the least, I do not suppose Macdonald has dogma over run/move splits).
I believe this was a efficiency assessment and Grubb merely did not move.

Seahawks determination makers might or might not have made their minds up about Grubb on the bye week.

Watching the tape usually left you questioning what on earth was happening with the #Seahawks offense this season. The general outcomes, given the offensive expertise, weren’t adequate. Nor was the dearth of actual progress. https://t.co/6PBk9qPxnJ
