The Seattle Seahawks made the maybe unsurprising resolution 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 enjoying a substantial function within the staff’s failure to make the postseason.
“It’s actually so simple as, I felt just like the course our offense was going was completely different than the imaginative and prescient I had for our staff, and I felt prefer it was a essential resolution at this level,” Seahawks head coach Macdonald stated. “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 awesome 12 months. So we did a number of nice issues, it’s simply that my imaginative and prescient for our offense simply finally was completely different from the place I believed Ryan thought it was going. So we respect the heck out of him, we want him the perfect.
Right here’s how social media reacted to his departure.
You may persuade me the Seahawks OC job is excellent (Mike Mac is an effective HC and the QB is in place) and you’ll persuade me it’s very unhealthy (the OL is horrible and idk if DK is a Seahawk subsequent 12 months so now you’ve acquired WR issues)

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

There are legit causes to make this transfer (mismatched philosophy, large adjustment, no leap 12 months over 12 months)
However given the assorted OCs over time, arduous to assume one other change would be the reply. The OL struggles are fixed and never bettering, that lands on the ft of the GM. https://t.co/eJBs8Zv2Z9

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

Seahawks resolution makers could or could 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 ok. Nor was the shortage of actual progress. https://t.co/6PBk9qPxnJ
