Alabama is set to hire Ryan Grubb as offensive coordinator, reuniting him with Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer, sources told ESPN.

But Grubb was sticking with the head coach with whom he’d through the ranks from the back roads of Sioux Falls to the pinnacle of the college game. He was a Kalen DeBoer guy, enough so to follow him to Tuscaloosa last January to accept the gig he rebuffed a year earlier.

DeBoer and Grubb built high-powered offenses together at previous stops, including Washington and Fresno State.
