The Seattle Seahawks will need some more birthday cake, because Mike Macdonald is celebrating his 38th birthday today.

Macdonald, who will enter his second season as Seattle’s head coach this year, was initially hired as the ninth head coach in franchise history in January of 2024. At the time of his hiring, Macdonald was the youngest head coach in the league, and he is now the second youngest behind New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore, who will turn 36 next month.

Macdonald succeeded long-time coach Pete Carroll, who was removed from his position a few weeks prior to Macdonald’s hiring.
