[Double Tribble]

Of course. I was glued to twitter all day yesterday. Nothing. Checked this morning. Nothing. As soooooon as I get to work my phone blows up that we got our guy. Argh!!! Haha. In the words of Pete Carroll, "I'M JACKED!!!" Let's GOOOO!!!!

I guess you take what you can get. Another defensive minded coach?

It's not announced yet on the Seahawks website. I guess they can't announce until he signs on the dotted line?

Thank you, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, for ending the Ravens' season prematurely. And special thanks to Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers for going out of his way to get a taunting penalty and then fumbling the ball on the one yard line, and losing the game so that we could get Mike McDonald a couple of weeks earlier.

It's a mistake, they accidentally hired this guy:

I don't have any big problem with the hire, but I'm not ecstatic about it...........I take it this guy is supposed to be the defensive equivalent of McShay and Shanahan.....? I hope so. I'm tired of watching our defense look confused, slow or play on their heels when the Rams or 49ers run 20 different plays from one formation. Let's see if he can stop the tight ends from running wild all over the Seahawks defense.

Okay, we'll see..........let's go.

Just curious- who would you have been ecstatic about?

Biggest. Boner. I’ve. Ever. Had.

Don’t tell my ex.

You might want to past a picture of Mike on you headboard, why not let mama enjoy the big news...!

I'm looking forward to his introductory press conference. I'm sure he'll be asked what made him choose Seattle over Washington, I want to hear his answer.

What do you mean? He got Seattle and Washington. I hope he pans out! serious question had he ever been a head coach?

 

[Spin Doctor]

have to hand it to Mael, he called this.

He was all that was left. After MacDonald you start getting into second tier candidates. The top offensive coordinators returned to their respective positions.

I personally think an offensive guy is the way to go…. Buuuuut MacDonald clearly seems to be the most promising guy left. I’ve heard him being compared to MacVay of the defense.

As my teenage daughters would say, "Like, this like totally like slays. Like."

He was my 2nd choice, after Johnson. I simply wanted a guy from the offensive side of the ball. No big deal though. Once Johnson dropped out of the running, I wanted Macdonald. I thought for sure that he was going to the Commanders. I am super happy that he came west instead. What I find very interesting is the number of anti-Harbaugh posters here that like Macdonald. He's not a Harbaugh, but he's the next closest thing.

I like John Harbaugh a lot. Jim I don't like for completely dumb reasons, like him being the 9ers coach and some shady crap he apparently pulled on Sherman and Baldwin, although he did later say they both turned out to be great players.

John I've always respected.
