Ok we are down to it so time from a fresh new HC Thread!

[Bil522]

I will be happy with whoever JS goes with as long as it is MacDonald or Johnson.

Seahawks announce that after an extensive search, they have decided that the new HC will be Pete Carroll

Future Hawks HC Mike Kafka

[Sibelius Hindemith]

Heard he was going to retire from football so that he could devote more time to writing.

The Kafka you are referring to was born 7 years before my Grandpa in 1883 and died 53 years before he did in 1924 at age 40. My Grandpa would have turned 134 yo this year. lol

In about 1976 at age 9 I told him he only had 14 years to go until he turned 100. He laughed.

Seahawks interviewed MacDonald in Baltimore yesterday. Today he is flying into town for a second "interview" I'd say that its probably close to a done deal and we might be seeing a presser this afternoon.

If Schefter says it's happening, then it must be true. Seattle to hire Macdonald as their new head coach. So we'll go from having the oldest coach in the league to having the youngest.

From the article:

Mike Macdonald coaching history

Macdonald rose through the coaching ranks with swiftness, being promoted from graduate assistant to the role of safeties and defensive quality control coach at Georgia in 2011.

After four seasons in Athens, Macdonald joined John Harbaugh's staff in Baltimore. Initially hired as an intern in 2014, Macdonald did a little bit of everything during his first tenure in Charm City. Over the course of seven years, Macdonald served as defensive assistant, defensive backs coach, and linebackers coach. He oversaw the development of such talents as Marlon Humphrey, Matthew Judon, and Marcus Peters, among others.

Macdonald swapped Ravens purple for maize-and-blue, joining Jim Harbaugh's staff at Michigan as the program's defensive coordinator in 2021. His impact was immediate. In his first and only season in charge of the backline in Ann Arbor, Macdonald's defense surrendered the eighth-fewest points per game in the country (17.4).

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and after just one year up north, Macdonald returned to his old stomping grounds in Baltimore, this time as the team's defensive coordinator. It was an astute rehiring in retrospect.

The Ravens emerged as the best defense in the league in 2023. Quarterbacks completed just 60.6 percent of their passes against Baltimore's harrowing secondary, the fifth-lowest rate in the league. The Ravens also led the league in sacks, spotlighting their status as one of the league's more well-rounded defensive units.

Can Macdonald reproduce that success in Seattle? Only time can tell. However, given his ability to adjust at multiple levels thus far in his career, it seems he certainly has the stomach for it.
