Just two seasons after former Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald left Baltimore to become the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, he’s on his way to Santa Clara to face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
While Macdonald has been very successful in Seattle, the argument that he should have taken over as the head coach of the Ravens never made sense. The Ravens finished 13-4 in 2023, and were the AFC runners-up. Firing John Harbaugh in favor of Macdonald would have been ludicrous, and though looking back it may have worked out perfectly, hindsight is 20/20.
