In today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, John and Barry kick it off focusing on Alabama’s hire of offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and what it means for the program under Kalen DeBoer. They talk through the delay in Grubb’s hiring, speculating whether he was weighing NFL opportunities or if Alabama struggled to secure a top choice. The conversation shifts to the quarterback situation, with questions surrounding Ty Simpson and incoming freshman Keelon Russell, while fans remain divided on Grubb’s impact. The hosts also take a critical look at Jalen Milroe’s NFL Draft prospects following a lackluster Senior Bowl, with skepticism about his ability to transition successfully to the pro level.
