The Seattle Seahawks have seen the Pete Carroll era come and go. After the 2023 season ended, Carroll decided to leave the sidelines and retire. Since that time, the organization has been in search of a new headman. As of Wednesday afternoon, it was released that they may have found their guy, and now the Seahawks are expected to hire Mike MacDonald as their new head coach.
Pete Carroll’s Record In Seattle
Carroll spent 14 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He went 137-89-1 in that span. The former head coach won 10 playoff games. This is the most current in franchise history. Along with the most playoff appearances with the organization. Pete Carroll was able to obtain a Super Bowl victory in 2013 behind their former quarterback Russell Wilson.
Pete Carroll has 147 wins alone with the Seahawks. Many former players or current enjoyed playing for him as the head coach. There were not many complaints while he was on the sidelines. Maybe, only from fans after getting close to reaching the Super Bowl with more than one win. Now it is time for someone else to take the reigns.
Mike MacDonald Expected To Be Seahawks Next Head Coach
With one era complete, now another one will begin with Mike MacDonald. Everyone knows that he is the former defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens under John Harbaugh. The Ravens recently lost to the Kansas City Chiefs at home in the AFC Championship Game. After that game, MacDonald saw his next opportunity ahead of him.
Mike MacDonald spent two seasons as the Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator. He did spend seven previous seasons on the Ravens staff. At one point he left the NFL to assist John Harbaugh’s brother Jim at the University of Michigan in 2021. This 2023 season left the Baltimore Ravens defense ranked sixth in totality. They were the top seed going into the conference championship game. Baltimore lost by a score of 17-10 this past Sunday.
Mike MacDonald Making History In 2024 With Seahawks
Coming into the new year, this will make Mike MacDonald the youngest head coach in NFL history. Being under a great example like John Harbaugh should give MacDonald confidence that he can do the job with the Seahawks. This will be exciting for the fans in getting a young guy to coach their team. It is not very often that young NFL coaches get a chance to be the guy at the top.
The best thing about it is that Mike MacDonald has coaching experience and several years of it with another NFL team. He finally will get his chance with the Seattle Seahawks in 2024. Surely, the team should be in good hands as things start going when the new season starts.
