- Alabama football OC Ryan Grubb details idle week meeting with Jon Gruden
Alabama football offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and quarterbacks coach Nick Sheridan spent some time during the Crimson Tide's idle week with former NFL coach Jon Gruden. The 62-year-old has a 117-112 career record as an NFL coach, and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002.
Grubb said he enjoyed sitting with the former Raiders and Bucs coach; the two met in Mobile at the Senior Bowl Golf Tournament, and have stayed in touch since.

"Two weeks before the bye week I reached out to him and said 'Hey, I'm thinking about coming down there and just talking (through) some ideas. Coach is great with stuff like that. I sent him kind of a request list of some things I'd like to talk about with him, and he's got more film than NFL Films dot com. It was great."
Gruden is now a media personality with Barstool Sports, and has named his content franchise the FFCA (Fired Football Coaches Association). Gruden posted a brief video on social media of his meeting with the two Crimson Tide coaches. Alabama is preparing to face LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday (6:30 p.m. CT, ABC).
