Alabama football’s new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb wants the Crimson Tide to attack on offense in 2025.

Grubb comes to Tuscaloosa with an opportunity to assist Kalen DeBoer with continuing the level of success Alabama football has enjoyed for more than a decade. The veteran college offensive coordinator wants to take advantage of this opportunity by having an explosive offensive attack.

Yea Alabama sat down with Grubb recently, and he detailed what the Tide’s offense should be able to do.

“We should be able to push the ball down the field,” Grubb said. “We should be able to finish runs and block in an explosive manner that I think, will really show what we want this offense to look like from a standpoint that we want people to be threatened with the football down the field. We want teams to have to understand that if you don’t play two-high (defense), and you give us the opportunity, if you load the box up, we’re going to make you pay with the ball going down the field. And then at the same time when they do put shell coverage out there, and they’re respecting your throw game, you’ve got to be able to punish them in the run game, and that’s something that we certainly want to do.”

The Alabama faithful will get their first glimpse at Ryan Grubb’s spin on the Tide’s offense in the spring.

Former Tide teammates DeVonta Smith, Jalen Hurts share emotional moment at Super Bowl LIX

As Philadelphia rolled toward a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith found quarterback Jalen Hurts on the sideline and said, “I love you, boy.”

Smith said the words with tears on his face as he added an NFL championship to the two CFP national championships won by Alabama while he played for the Crimson Tide. NFL Films captured the moment and released the video on Tuesday afternoon.

Smith and Hurts have been teammates for the past four seasons in Philadelphia. But before that, they were teammates at Alabama in the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

Smith had 12 receptions for 213 yards and one touchdown on passes thrown by Hurts with the Crimson Tide.

The touchdown pass was a 26-yard connection with 25 seconds left to play to beat Mississippi State 31-24 on Nov. 11, 2017.

On Sunday, Smith caught another touchdown pass from Hurts – his 25th in the NFL thrown by the quarterback. The 46-yard score gave Philadelphia a 34-0 lead with 2:40 left in the third quarter.
