How Nick Sheridan helps Ryan Grubb with Alabama football qb

The relationship between Alabama football Ryan Grubb and Nick Sheridan has the potential to be painful. Grubb, who has recently joined as Cryson Tide’s offensive coordinator, took that job and the Sheridan game dutieswhich led the crime in 2024, after Grubb initially took the job when Kalen Deboer replaced Nick Saban before heading back to Seattle to join the NFL seahawks.

Sheridan stays on Tide staff under Grubb, keeping the quarter trainer’s duties and a co-worker title. And, given what Grubb told reporters on Wednesday about their relationship, there seems to be no animosity.

“Nick, obviously, there is a huge advantage for me just because he gives me the flexibility of being in the rooms I have to be and talk to the people I have to talk to,” Grubb said. “So, I think that part for me was already wonderful. This way, if another position group or coach needs help, I can move to that room and try to use my skills with the crime elsewhere. But most of the time, it will always be with the quarters. I think this relationship is essential. “

Grubb worked as a quarter coach, as well as offensive coordinator in Washington. Sheridan trained their heads before getting promotion to Alabama.

Deboer said Monday that Grubb was expected to gravitate to the quarterfinals, Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell competed for the job. The new OC agreed on Wednesday.

“I always think it has to start with the quarter room,” Grubb said. “If I do not have a relationship with the boys who throw the ball or in Huddle on Saturday, I think I would put Alabama to the disadvantage. So, I must always be on the same page as those guys, in synchronization. “

Before focusing on quarters, Grubb was an offensive line coach at the beginning of his career. When Alabama joined briefly in 2024, the former Washington coach came, Scott Huff, but Huff also joined Seahawks.

Chris Kapilovic has taken over and remains in the role for Crimson Tide. Grubb also discussed this relationship on Wednesday.

“It was wonderful,” Grubb said. “Kap does a great job. I think sometimes when the boys are – they don’t know how to take this when an OC has at least one offensive background, they will violate them. But I think Kap does an excellent job just to be open and to think about things that can help my unity and perspective on the crime that can help. So it was great. “

Alabama continues the spring practice until April 12, when the A-Day game will play on the Bryant-Denny stadium.
