Seahawks fans react to news Mike Macdonald will be new head coach
The Seahawks got their guy. After waiting three weeks for the Ravens to get bounced from the playoffs, they are hiring Baltimore’s 36-year old defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald as their next head coach. He’s going to be here a while too, as NFL Network is reporting he’s signing a six-year deal.
Macdonald was arguably the best defensive playcaller in the league this season, which should help this current Seattle team where they need it most. Despite having talent at all three levels, they got disappointing results on this side of the ball in 2023. Let’s see how fans are taking the news.
Here’s how 12s are reacting to the news on Twitter.

Really wanted an offensive coach but there weren’t many on the market, I can live with this. Time to win some super bowls Mike

Love this hire I think he’s going to bring back the LOB culture. Needs to get the right OC in there to use all of that talent.

Are defensive head coaches overrated? If so can MacDonald turn that around in Seattle? Over the last 6 years they've been bad for winning in the playoffs.https://t.co/CPhwuJ2RdI

Seattle D contains some big names, but it also grossly underperformed. Fascinating to see if he can bring the best out of those guys.
