The Seahawks are done with their offensive coordinator after one season.

The Seattle Seahawks made the perhaps unsurprising decision to move on from offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb on Monday. Grubb was hired last offseason after leading the high-flying University of Washington offense into a National Championship appearance. Unfortunately, his first ever season in the NFL produced uninspiring results, with the sputtering Seahawks offense playing a considerable role in the team’s failure to make the postseason.

“It’s really as simple as, I felt like the direction our offense was going was different than the vision I had for our team, and I felt like it was a necessary decision at this point,” Seahawks head coach Macdonald said. “Ryan’s a heck of a football coach. We did some really great things on offense this year. Geno had a bunch of career highs throwing the ball, and we did some really cool situational stuff, I know Jax had a great year. So we did a lot of great things, it’s just that my vision for our offense just ultimately was different from where I thought Ryan thought it was going. So we respect the heck out of him, we wish him the best.

Here’s how social media reacted to his departure.
