Goodbye, sweet prince Mike. We will miss you. Take care of him for us Seattle! I hope his jump from coordinator to head coach wont turn out like some of the coordinators that have left the Ravens (Caldwell, Pagano etc). In any case, Seattle got an awesome one. Thank you, Mike, for an AWESOME season. It was nice to finally not watch the Ravens blow enormous 4th quarter leads anymore. Best of luck out west!
He will have a tremendous GM who will work closely with him and allow him to build a group of coaches around him that he is comfortable with. Ultimately John Schneider will provide Mike everything possible to make him comfortable and to make the transition to HC as seemless as possible. I personally think Mike Macdonald is going to do an amazing job as our HC and I forsee over a decade of excellence with him at the helm. Hopefully we'll get a Seattle vs Baltimore Superbowl I'm the not too distant future. We appreciate your understanding for us going after him. It speaks to the excellence of your organization and John Harbaugh that we are running to his tree for help to get back to where we want to be. Good luck to you guys and us 12s here will also make sure to let him know how appreciative we are to have him take this leap of faith and take control of a proud franchise who want to continue to grow our legacy as one of the best teams in the NFL.
The only 3 pro bowl players came from the defensive but ranked dead last in yards per game in the NFL. Talent is there, just needs a good coach for mentorship.
Macdonald did play football up through high school. He missed his senior year to injury and whatever chance he had at getting recruited evaporated as a result.
Yeah, Paul Silvi included that in a question to Macdonald during interview on King 5. That said, since he *did* only play high school level I think that's why it was phrased that way in this interview with Mina. Knowing he didn't play beyond high school.
Ending with Pete's chapter and opening Mike Mac's is like a Seattle sports dream come true. He set up the scheme that ended Huskies legendary run, it's only fair he make penance here and win us a SB.
from ravens fan great hire. mike makes great adjustments and gets the most from his players who love him I wanted Harbaugh fired and Mike as head coach.
@anthonysclafani3963 Roman is known for his power run scheme so he needs Blocking TEs and coming to Seattle he would have more talented RBs than what Baltimore had
@@DJKero17 He’d help the run game for sure, but the problem is that’s the only thing he’s good at. Hawks’ best group is their WRs, Roman is notorious for being as terrible at passing as he’s good at running. If someone is designing and calling the pass plays it could work, but you can’t be so 1 dimensional as an OC. Roman only gives you like 2 good years anyway. He does the same thing with every team.
I believe this is he best hire, mm is young and can relate to this introvert generation and help unlock their talent. Also this obviously is going to be JS first year he has the full control over the draft and free agency.
Let's say this is the 2024 NFL Head Coach Draft with 8 picks. The last pick was Commanders and they picked Dan Quinn. With the 7th pick, the Seattle Seahawks selected Patrick Mahomes of head coach. His name is Mike Macdonald.
Beyond his success the past 3 years, is the fact the Harbaugh boys have his back and that says a lot. The key for him is to have John bring in an experienced offense coordinator say, Eric B. That'd be perfect and then let Mac do his thing! Resign Brooks and bring In Queen!!!😅
Keep Jordan at the right price… Jamal has simply sat more than he’s played, and he gave up too many big plays in coverage to keep. Especially when Love and Witherspoon can play his spot with more versatility, and enough physicality.
Baltimore has rank out of the top 10 in defense only like 5 times in 23 years my dude. Mcdonald went back to the nfl because he would have a better shot at head coach position
Adams has to go. He can't cover. He can't tackle. He can't get to the QB or get them on the ground when he does. We have so many needs. LB. D line. Online. Safety. QB.
@TheFrenchPug I'm actually surprised we got him. The seahawks are getting set to be sold, who's gonna buy them? Who's gonna be the new owner? Will the new owner want to keep Mike? Those are things he had to think about before accepting
@@carlitos366 I am betting with the dismissal of Pete Jody is holding onto the franchise or this juncture would have been her time to sell. John had to have information to hold candidates interest about this, no way he takes on a six year deal if Jodi is about to sell.
I love how people are so confident the Seahawks are about to be sold just because of some clause that we don't actually know much about. Especially we don't know about any sort of time frame. Probably know the Seahawks might not be sold for a decade
I am 64 yo and have been a Seahawks fan since the Nordstrom ownership with ground Chuck Knox. I remember having less than 30,000 fans in the seats at the 60,000 capacity Kingdome during the sad decisions of the Behring ownership years. Paul Allen’s Holmgren run brought a fun run to a referee influenced Superbowl loss. The amazing run with Pete Carroll was very fun to watch, and was historic with post season appearances and Superbowls. Wish Jody would have kept with Pete to his end. Instead of taking a chance on a 36 yo first time head coach. For me, I will sell my tickets and wait to see if Hawks will be worth watching.
Lmao u must be blind. Cause Pete has given us a bottom 10 D for 7 straight years. As a defensive head coach that's just unacceptable. He got more than enough time to fix it. He couldn't. Glad he's gone.
"Sell my tickets". Please, you root for your team in good times AND in bad. If you were able to suffer with your Seahawks through the 1990s you definitely can keep watching. They're never going to be as bad again as the team was back then.
This guy is up against a major task. The seahawks have been pretty underwhelming despite the talent level. But the seahawks are about to be sold.... This is not something that a new coach wants to come into. I believe its the reason why it took schneider longer to hire someone. Not saying nethanial hacket shouldnt have been fired, but when a new coach comes in and then a new owner comes in after a down year... there are a few examples of coaches getting bounced in this circumstance. Dan Campbell had a terrible first year but was given a second. Hackett was not so lucky. New owners bring new expectations and that doesnt give a new coach the warm and fuzzies. Which is why we should have kept pete as coach at least through the sale of the team.
On the other hand, this could signal that the Seahawks aren’t going to be sold for awhile longer, if ever. I know it is one of the stipulations made by Paul Allen in the aftermath of his death, but there are legal ways around that stipulation if need be I would presume. If the team was to be sold in the next couple of years, do you really think that was not brought up in the interview process? So it looks like the Seahawks are going to be around for at least the next six years. Plenty of time to go all in if they really want to.
Belichick 2.0 has landed in beautiful PNW. 12s prayers 4 a future multi SB winning HoF HC came true. Mac made NFLs big O Dawgs look average. MAC MADE REID & SHANAHAH - Mahomes & CMC - Kelce & Kittle - Pacheco & Deebo look v v average. Even Belichick 1.0 cud not do that.
How about just some solid defense improvement and offensive discipline before you say he is going to win multiple super bowls. Projecting winning multiple super bowls is hyperbolic crap and is out of touch with reality. Solid improvement on both sides of the ball will be a win for us and is realistic.
Idc bout her opinion. Wth does she know? I want people that have been around the game, not someone thats never put on a uniform, or never coached for that matter. Foh
1- she’s legit smart 2- she’s worked hard to be a good football analyst 3- between business and sport journalism, I’m sure she dealt with bigger douches than you
Who cares what a woman thinks about a men's football coach? When was the last time she suited up in pads? I say this as a man that hasn't played football and my opinion is equally irrelevant. Reminds me when Jamele Hill (sp) dogged the choice of Campbell as the new Lions coach. She tweeted the "Lions passed up how many black coaches for THIS guy"?

It helps that he is going to a team that had a winning record and yet underperformed.
Thanks- we’re fortunate and excited to get him. 💙🏈💚
Awww thx!
We will take good care of Macdonald he will revive Seattle make you ravens proud thank you for the gift really brings hope for us fans

Mina is an impressive analyst.
😂
100%
I’ve noticed she brings the stats when her colleagues just have the opinions.
She always has been
@@brandonderrick006 If she were a man, you would not have commented that.
Did Kam chancellor whisper in Schneiders ear? I freakin love it! Bring back the BOOM MAD MAC! Welcome to Thunderdome!
Kam Chancellor*, last names are capitalized, too.
Best HC hire we could have hoped for.
I agree 10K%
I was worried we were going 2 wind up with DQ.
@@slimcoogan3277 DQ won a super bowl as a coordinator and went to one as a HC, Mcdonald is unproven lol
@@youdub7926 So why isn't Quinn a HC?
@@youdub7926how Dan Quinn do this year in the playoffs 😂
@@youdub7926 MacDonald is unproven as a HC, but Quinn has proven to be washed as one.
We got our new coach ! Now it's time to go out and get real good Qb!!!

Mina you got your man I hope it work well for y'all Madd love your the best.
I love how he made adjustments for our defense this season...Seattle you got a good one
Thanks!
Mike Macdonald's coaching profile is the defensive version of Jed Fisch. Someone that didn't play, but has been part of some excellent staffs.
MacDonald played football, just not in college. We need to let go of the notion that if you didn't play in college, you didn't play football
@@AstrologyZoneCK oh thanks. Guess I played football too then. What a great day.
@@almaq2078 Congrats! :)
You don’t need to play to coach. Lots of successful coaches in very sport didn’t play they were good leaders and could analyze and explain texhnique
I like it!
Ending with Pete's chapter and opening Mike Mac's is like a Seattle sports dream come true. He set up the scheme that ended Huskies legendary run, it's only fair he make penance here and win us a SB.
Love me some Mina
Great move they got just the guy I wanted a piece of the Baltimore Defense...Go Hawks!
from ravens fan
great hire. mike makes great adjustments and gets the most from his players who love him
I wanted Harbaugh fired and Mike as head coach.
Maybe Mcdonald can get Dremont Jones to perform for $19 million
Sounds good but it comes down to if he finds a good OC as well in our division. And I hope the try to get a QB. Geno is just not enough.
probably going to get greg roman
Neither was Shane….
@@DJKero17 Roman requires a mobile QB and good TEs, neither of which Seattle has. You don't want Roman.

Welcome to Seattle Seahawks, and 12th Man. Seahawks nick name is (south Alaska😅) welcome
Just get our defense off the field vs. "most time spent on defense on the field in 2023..."
No more jamal adams please
Mina is awesome. But Wyman is awesomely awesome! Always love hearing him. Puts me to sleep real quick.
Keep Jordan at the right price… Jamal has simply sat more than he’s played, and he gave up too many big plays in coverage to keep. Especially when Love and Witherspoon can play his spot with more versatility, and enough physicality.
If Schneider retires or leaves, can the Hawks hire Mina as the next GM?? 😂
Mina is a total babe
💪💪💪
Wait, the Rams scored 31 on the Ravens last season.
Bro couldn’t wait ten minutes to grab a bite while filming lol.
Adams Stacy? Really?
.
.
.
For the love of God why do people not admit the guy is a pos as a player and person?
Baltimore can plug in any players or coaches and they will look good.
That's why the harbaughs sent him back and forth to help the d?
Baltimore has rank out of the top 10 in defense only like 5 times in 23 years my dude. Mcdonald went back to the nfl because he would have a better shot at head coach position
Adams has to go. He can't cover. He can't tackle. He can't get to the QB or get them on the ground when he does. We have so many needs. LB. D line. Online. Safety. QB.
Don´t worry about Carroll the earth already claims him
Mike brings with us Queen, Madubuike and Stone
Seattle Seahawks need to move on from Jamal Adams. He Injury prone.
Mike MacDonald what he going to do when NFL draft come??
Yeah. I never saw what everyone was so hyped about with Adams. We got worse once he came back in.
Along with the fact he's half a player? Mean hitter, whiffs on tackles. Fast, can't cover a cough. Jets fans told us years ago.
He washed
@@MikeBarbre what John Schneider & Mike MacDonald going to do with Him?
@@MikeBarbre You know it's bad when the Jets get rid of someone who's supposed to be awesome. They knew something.
Hasn't he worked with Earl Thomas. Bring in Earl to coach the Backs 🤷😂😂😂😂
I dunno. For as great of a player he was some of the locker room stories and things we saw with our own eyes makes me think that is maybe a bad idea.
Earl Thomas is a malcontent
@@blackfinjrblackfinjr3555A Gronk destroying malcontent ! I like the idea of making Sherman a secondary coach by the way.
Earl would be a terrible coach. Phenom as a player... but dude has never really cared about teaching the next man.
someone hasn't been paying attention to what earl's been up to since he flipped us off and left.
Seahawks got M&M as a new coach!
The only way you keep a talent this good from being poached is to make him an HC. Go Hawks!
Seattle is a very attractive place to go. I couldn't wait to get out of a place like Baltimore.

The league needs to take notice and keep their head on a swivel.The Hawks are comin
2:29 BUMP, that's the biggest water bottle I've ever seen!
possibly finally a smashmouth defense not this patty cake crap hawks been playin. Now if they can pick up a future qb like Penix or ?
Bo Nix?
