Wouldn't it be something?
if Ryan "John" Grubb ends up being the guy we should have hired?
We were in a position where we couldn't take that kind of chance, so I'm not blaming Dannan. But wouldn't it be something in retrospect if it proves out.

This is a classic blind squirrel scenario. Grubb could be better. Fisch was by far the better hire at the time based on his resume. Did the Hawks(ILTCTT) find a a nut?

He'll be there when we need him. Hes a warshington man

Was there any proof he could recruit? Great coach without any players doesn’t amount to much.

OC to head coach is such a different skill set (CEO). Sometimes it can be worth it to overpay a brilliant OC (or DC) to let them lead your org, and there are many successes out there like that, but none really get to the very top of the sport without changing and evolving. Lincoln Riley, Leach, Venables, Tedford, all excellent on one side of the ball, but make them lead a team and they're able to make that team good but never great. I would even toss Sark in here though maybe he's been HC for so long now that he's learned that part (lol j/k).
No idea if Grubb has that in him - he might, but hasn't had the CEO opportunity, and if we've learned anything it's that you don't try that for the first time at Washington. The Kirby Smarts and Bob Stoops of the world are rare.

No. If he's successful as an OC in the NFL he's going to get a head coaching job in the NFL.

When Dan Lanning and Ryan Day meet at third base in a couple of weeks we can compare notes on coordinators

It seems like Grubb is an X and O guy. NFL is perfect for that because you don't have to worry about recruits. He seems like a nerd on offense so he was probably going to go to the NFL anyways.

it’s been since 1957 since we hit in an assistant corch and that was some Bear Bryant junction bois shit.
we done here ?

I saw a video on Youtube where a Pats fan was breaking down film and marveling how Seattle seemed to know what defense NE was going to be in and then exploited it. So then I got to thinking "What if Grubb's a playcalling prodigy and we had a shot but missed it?" But again, we couldn't afford to take that kind of chance in that moment so I'm not implying we blew it per se.

Yes the Gilby theory. I get it
