Coaching career

Early coaching career

Grubb's coaching career began in 2003, when he took a position at his alma mater, Kingsley–Pierson High School, as offensive coordinator. In his second of two seasons at Kingsley–Pierson, Grubb was named the Iowa High School Athletic Association Class 1A Assistant Coach of the Year.^[2] After departing, he moved to the NCAA Division I ranks; while pursuing his master's degree, Grubb served on the coaching staff for at South Dakota State – in 2005 as their running backs coach and in 2006 as their wide receivers coach. Among the players he coached at South Dakota State was JaRon Harris, who would later be named to an NFL practice squad.^[3]

Sioux Falls

In 2007, he took a position at Sioux Falls under head coach Kalen DeBoer, where he would remain for seven years. For the first three seasons, Grubb served as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator for the Cougars, while in his last four seasons he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. During his time at Sioux Falls, Grubb also served as the school's strength and conditioning coach. In addition to winning two NAIA national championships with the football team, he was also named NAIA National Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year in 2008.^[4]

Sioux Falls promoted Grubb to offensive coordinator for the 2009 season. Following that season, DeBoer departed to become offensive coordinator at Southern Illinois.^[5] New head coach Jed Stugart retained Grubb and defensive coordinator Jon Anderson.^[6]

On January 14, 2024, Grubb announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) that he would be leaving Washington after not being selected to become the new head coach of the team, following the departure of Kalen DeBoer.^[10]^[11]
