Alabama football is finding a way to use both Ryan Grubb and Nick Sheridan this season.
Sheridan, who called plays as offensive coordinator in 2024, will remain on staff and coach the quarterbacks in 2025, a source with knowledge of the situation told AL.com. It’s unclear yet what Sheridan’s exact title will be.
Sheridan spent the past year with the title of quarterbacks coach in addition to offensive coordinator. Then Alabama added Grubb this offseason to be offensive coordinator after he became available because the Seattle Seahawks fired him after one year.
Grubb and Sheridan also worked together on the Washington staff where Grubb was offensive coordinator and Sheridan was tight ends coach. Then Sheridan and Grubb were set to fill the same role on the Alabama staff in 2024, but then Grubb left after a few weeks to be the Seahawks’ play caller. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer then promoted Sheridan to offensive coordinator for the 2024 season.
Sheridan worked with Ty Simpson and Austin Mack in 2024, who were backups to starting quarterback Jalen Milroe. Sheridan was also the primary recruiter for freshman Keelon Russell, the top recruit in the 2025 class per the 247Sports Composite.
