SEATTLE — On Nov. 28, Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb admitted: "I've told [athletic director Jen Cohen] this, and I've told [head coach] Kalen [DeBoer] this: I have a deep passion for calling plays. For me, I do have a desire to be the best O-coordinator in the country. That's a deep-seated belief in who I am and what I want to be. So there's definitely a path I'm on with that right now."
That path led to Tuscaloosa.
And then back home.
