5 potential candidates to replace Ryan Grubb as Alabama’s next offensive coordinator

Alabama is in search of a new offensive coordinator after the news broke that Ryan Grubb was accepting the offensive coordinator position with the Seattle Seahawks. Roll Tide Wire takes a look at five potential candidates to replace Grubb.

It did not take long for Alabama’s offensive coordinator search to resurface. On Friday night, Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb accepted the offensive coordinator opening with the Seattle Seahawks.

With that being the case, Alabama is forced to find a new offensive play-caller. It will be the first time since 2019 that Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer has an offensive coordinator not named Ryan Grubb.

Needless to say, it will be interesting to see which direction DeBoer decides to go. Will he stick with familiarity and promote from within? Will he look elsewhere?

Roll Tide Wire lists five potential candidates to replace Ryan Grubb as Alabama’s next offensive coordinator.

Kirby Moore signs contract extension at Missouri

Seems like you can cross him off the list…

One offensive coordinator who has gained a ton of national respect in the last two seasons is Kirby Moore.  2023 was Moore’s first at Missouri as he helped the Tigers to a 10-2 regular season and berth in the Cotton Bowl to take on Ohio State.

Here at Fighting Irish Wire we named him as a possibility to be Notre Dame’s next offensive coordinator.

As of Thursday night that doesn’t seem to be the case as Moore has signed a contract extension at Missouri.

Terms were not yet disclosed and stranger things have certainly happened but it would appear that Moore isn’t leaving Columbia, Missouri this off-season.

Notre Dame offensive coordinator candidate: Kirby Moore

Will Notre Dame’s offense be Kirby’s dream land?

Rather unexpectedly, at least by those that watched Notre Dame’s offense up close in 2023, Fighting Irish offensive coordinator Gerad Parker has taken the head coach job at Troy.

Him doing so leaves a vacancy for Notre Dame at offensive coordinator yet again as the Irish will spend part of the off-season searching for a new play caller.  This is the third time in four off-seasons that Notre Dame has had to conduct such a search.

Here at Fighting Irish Wire we will be researching any and all of the names that get rumored or linked to the opening to arm you with the best information on each candidate.

A hot name in coaching circles is Kirby Moore, the current offensive coordinator at Missouri.  What makes Moore such an intriguing candidate?

Here’s what you need to know about the man currently calling plays for Elijah Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers:

Notre Dame football: 11 offensive coordinators candidates to replace Gerad Parker

Who do you want to be Notre Dame’s next offensive coordinator?

Paint it any way you want it, but Notre Dame football landed great news on Monday.  Offensive coordinator Gerad Parker was named Troy’s new head coach.

No, it’s not ideal that Notre Dame will now be on their third offensive play caller in the past four seasons, but its a spot the Irish coaching staff could upgrade and now they’re forced to.

Reports are out from various outlets that Marcus Freeman has his eyes on a certain external candidate.  Who exactly that is may be remains to be seen.  And just because Freeman may have his eye on someone doesn’t mean that its all a race for one guy.

So who are some names to keep an eye on in regards to Notre Dame’s next offensive coordinator?  We’ve compiled 11.
