Grubb's addition to the coaching staff is expected to shake up the Alabama coaching staff to an extent, however, it won't be with the two co-offensive coordinators in Tuscaloosa in 2024.

According to ESPN's Adam Rittenberg, 2024 offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Nick Sheridan, as well as co-offensive coordinator and wide receiver coach JaMarcus Shephard, are expected to remain on the Alabama staff going into the 2025 football season.

Both coaches worked with Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb in 2022 and 2023. Sheridan was the tight ends coach at Washington, coaching Jack Westover to back-to-back 300-yard seasons.

Meanwhile, JaMarcus Shephard coached Rome Odunze and Ja'Lynn Polk to 1,000-yard seasons in 2023 at Washington, and Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard to 700-plus yards receiving in 2024.

If Sheridan returns to coaching tight ends, this time at Alabama, it would muddy the status of Bryan Ellis. Ellis was the tight end coach at Alabama in 2024, coaching CJ Dippre to 256 receiving yards and Robbie Outz to 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
