Video: Mike Macdonald announced as Seattle Seahawks head coach

It’s official! The Seattle Seahawks have their ninth head coach in franchise history.

Following an extensive two-week search, former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald has been announced as the successor to Pete Carroll. At 36 years old, Macdonald is the youngest coach in the NFL, exactly have the age of the legendary Carroll, who still has the energy of a 36-year-old. I think Macdonald and Carroll should run a ceremonial 100-yard race just for the hell of it, but that’s not the point of this article.

Here are Macdonald’s first comments, courtesy of Seahawks.
