As a Ravens fan, I'm happy for y'all. Sad to lose our guy, but glad that he's getting this opportunity with an amazing organization to make something great.
Appreciate it bro as a Seahawks fan I always respected Baltimore for their defense. Seattle and Baltimore aren’t letting defense die in this “ new era” of football🤝
Just for the record bro,I had the Ravens down for the Lombardi, it looked a certainty, I know you'd have crushed the Niners (again),but safe to say the Ravens have seemed to be for decades the home of great defence ,impossible not to admire a team that featured the great men Lewis and Reed.👍
please tell me under mike macdonalds leadership the seahawks media or audio team will make sure we can finally hear the journalists ask questions in every press conferences after this
We're going to miss you back in Baltimore but we wish you nothing but the best. Won't be surprised to see a Ravens Seahawks super bowl in the near future. Y'all got a dawg taking over💯
Thx for the love, I’ve always been a ravens fan from afar, great organization that gets the best out of their players. Which makes this hire so exciting
Thank you Jodie for your leadership, care of the team, and city if Seattle. You picked a guy who brings hope on the back of a great era. Seahawks will just continue to get beter.
Seems like a solid dude. I'm not sure if the Seahawks monitor these comments but one suggestion I'd have is to put subtitles in for the questions the reporters asks. I find it really hard to hear the questions and its kind of a guessing game what was asked based off the Coach MacDonald's responses. Super excited about this guy!
I’m still butt hurt about the entire Pete Carroll situation but even more it was a perfect opportunity to give Pete the flowers that he so richly deserves… Make it about how great Pete was (and still is) and that Mike is going to build on that. Glad the first thing out of his mouth was to call out coach Carroll! Pete has set this team up for some great things to happen in the coming years and it breaks my heart that he won’t get any of the credit for that…
He absolutely will…mind you Pete didn’t get fired, he got promoted to an advisor role if I’m not mistaken bro was old and coaching style outdated but the Hawks knew his Brain onna diff level so they couldn’t just let him go
Agreed. Hiring Mike is no guarantee that we’ll win another super bowl, and as much as I love coach Pete, the direction of the team was that we weren’t going to be Super Bowl bound anytime soon. At least with this hiring, I’m hopeful that we can get back there. The first thing we need to do is win our division and we were seemingly light years off from being able to do that under Pete. At least now we’ll have an opportunity to comPete! (one last peteism ☺️)
@@ssjkhalil3166he got fired. Pete told the team he was leaving and then changed his mind and reneged, so they made him an advisor, lol. He is under contract still. Meaningless as fk position
I dont know if anyone else noticed this but when coach was asked about the players he said we got a lot of great players, WE did a great job drafting. Already super comfortable speaking as a part of the team like he’s been here for awhile. Im super excited for this dudes juice and what he can bring with player development. As a young team i really think it’s important to have a young hungry coach like this dude that’s also super talented. I really think we’re gonna be really good sooner than later. Id be shocked if we didnt win a playoff game next year.
Hell yeah let the era begin! I can’t wait. It sounds like I’m being an ass when I ask this, but I’m genuinely curious: Why make it an option for us to live stream the press conferences if you know you’re going to have to re-upload it in order for us to hear the questions? I don’t mind waiting but it just felt real dumb hyping up the “watch live” presser if we couldn’t hear a single question live
The best head coaching hire of the year and it's not even close, i see many many superbowls in our future. Welcome to the best culture in the NFL coach Macdonald 💯 #HawksForever💙💚
I LOVE how much he talks about adaptability and adjustments, so excited to have a coach that will put players in a position to maximize their talents instead of trying to force them into the wrong mold…
Seattle has been a winning team for most of the Carroll era; may Mike turn this team into the potential it has eventually to become a Super Bowl contender.
Hoody with a sports jacket? My kind of coach. Make connections, build trust, hire a unified staff and lets get the 12s back to losing our voices for the right reasons.
I can't wait to see what you're gonna bring to our team. I hope in the near future, you can lead us to anotherSuper Bowl and help us win another championship. It's been a little over ten years since we've won our very first Super Bowl so we hope to bring another trophy here to the Emerald City. Go Hawks!
Yall took a good one from us. Been a Ravens fan for 20 years. With all the great defenses I've witnessed, this has been the most creative, intelligent defense I've been a fan of. He's going to get that unit right.
Best of luck Mike, thank you for all you’ve done for our Ravens, thank you for laying the foundations you have. Your success is in your hands. Go be great!
GIGANTIC WELCOME TO: Mr. & Mrs. Macdonald and their baby Bruce (haha love that! ). Mr. Frazier as assistant coach! What a beautiful mix! Thank You Jehovah! Really excited to watch what unfolds for Our Beloved Seahawks❤💚💙💚🤎💙🖤💚🤍💙❤💥💫 NOTE: I will always appreciate and love Our amazing former coach Carroll and his amazing wife, Big Thank You to you and your wife for all you gave to our Hawks and all of Seattle..❤❤💚💙🎉
I'm a big Raven fan and have 100% support of Mike Mac. He was an amazing defensive coordinator and will be a great head coach. Reminds me of Sean McVay on Defense.
Comin from a ravens fan I promise you guys are about to be a problem, and consistently, every year as long as you got McDonald. He’s THE guy to have for stopping modern day offenses, not jus stopping them, but STOMPING them, I’m devastated to see him go but I’m glad he landed with a franchise that’s used to winning. The culture Pete Carroll built most likely won’t leave that building, and Mike will only add to that and bring a very aggresive mindset. He’s cold as ice, and will get your defense ready to knock a mf out. Congrats seattle💯
@@Nickh4929 oh yeah, and you saw what ravens defense did to the 9ers. Wit Witherspoon and Woolen, Adams potentially comin back, B Wags, that team should be puttin mfs in deep 💩!!!!! Part of me wants to switch to Seahawks so bad cuz Ik how good you guys are about to be🤣
This is actually a heartbreaking interview. Pete embodies Seahawk football and unfortunately came up short for many years. I think you can see excitement from John but you can see how hard this is without his guy next to him. BUT! Seeing what Mac has created with the ravens and the idea of what he can do with bringing the potential superstar players we have together and creating something relevant and ready to go fuck teams up. Man he is the perfect fit for this team and I am so excited to call his name on gameday. Great job by us to let this man take the wheel and drive us into future superbowls. 💙💚
Man, it took 10 minutes for me to get on board with this guy. What sealed it was the reported asking him about the "play like a Raven" slogan and saying hes not gonna bring that here, how many guys in the Bill Belichick coaching tree got ran out of town because they just tried to import the "patriot way" to their new team? Good first sign.
This person is a defensive mastermind and reminds me of former coaches; Seattle has a great environment and I feel he will fit in pretty well ..... Add some depth in the legion of boom .... Wagner needs a little help on the sidelines who isn't afraid to come up and make a big stick .... Not talking about Diggs ... or Witherspoon or Wolen or Adams but we need one more addition to make a complete package ....
30:36 He seems a lot more mature than 36 years of age. I am encouraged he said there is a standard players with be held accountable and ultimately players will hold each other accountable. I follow KJ Wright’s podcast- He has said on several occasions players holding each other accountable was the secret sauce of the LOB’s success and thought that was missing on our defense. I’m really looking forward to seeing where his leadership takes this team next season.
John is straight up gushing over Mike right now. That's a great sign.
John probably started "celebrating" even before this press conference.
@pickupbeer9296I love cocaine
Where do I get some of your cocaine@pickupbeer9296
He is so cute
John just seems like such a genuine dude.
As a Ravens fan, I'm happy for y'all. Sad to lose our guy, but glad that he's getting this opportunity with an amazing organization to make something great.
You the man Baltimore!
Thx for the love, I’ve always been a fan of the ravens which makes this hire super exciting

I was not able to give this comment anymore than 1 thumb up, needs 1000...
Forreeaaaalllll
I think the Seahawks will win the SB first before they fix that.
I’ve had this thought every week for the past…twenty years
He should’ve answered with that being his greatest challenge to face coming here hahaha
We're going to miss you back in Baltimore but we wish you nothing but the best. Won't be surprised to see a Ravens Seahawks super bowl in the near future. Y'all got a dawg taking over💯
That would be fun..I respect the hell outta yall.
Maybe it won’t be a blowout now that we have him lol, I would be embarrassed if that was a Super Bowl, and we lost 37-3 again
We’re fired up to have him
I love Baltimore go hawks baby
That would be an awesome superbowl
As a ravens fan this is heartbreaking 💔💔 y’all got y’all selves a hella of a coach Seattle!
As a Ravens fan,I wish Mike and the Seahawks nothing but the best,You guys got yourself a heck of a coach.

They were scary as hell this year!! 👍🏻👍🏻🏈🏈❤️❤️
Thank you Jodie for your leadership, care of the team, and city if Seattle. You picked a guy who brings hope on the back of a great era. Seahawks will just continue to get beter.
Wow, this was an impressive first press conference. I’m even more excited after hearing his vision for this team in depth. Welcome to Seattle!

Just give the reporters microphones to ask the questions.
I wish somebody loved me as much as John loves Mike.
You need a stepmother!
I can love you bro
And we're excited to have you coach MacDonald! 💪

The audio was trash during the live press conference. Seahawks need to get that fixed
Nothing wrong with sound, just your hearing. This isn't a 4k stream podcast. Get over it
Don’t let that distract you from the fact that Russ is sus, and is now Sussell.
