Name the future coaching stars from Macdonald's tree?

[toffee]

Most historically successful coaches cared about their coaching tree, Bill Walsh certainly was the case, Pete Carroll too. Our young Macdonald should start thinking about his lasting legacy, the coaching tree is on the table. After the first year, Grubb is gone, but he might still one day become an OC or HC in the league, Kubiak too, he has JSN, K9 and 3 Schneider-certified QBs to work with, a maturing OL free of geNO helps too. Who else? Aden Durde? but isn't he tainted for being on Dan Quinn's tree?

The first person from Macdonald's tree that I would expect to get HC offers is Durde. He's got the personality to relate to the players, I can see him being a good leader.

I don’t think MM is much of a tree yet. He’s still a branch off the old harbaugh tree

... who's essentially a branch off the Andy Reid tree, who's a branch off the Mike Holmgren tree.

Ergo, Mac is from the Holmgren tree.

Technically, Harbaugh was a Ray Rhodes hire, but Reid put him on the map. Both are Holmgren guys anyway.

Maybe, but somehow I feel like Durde will never get the recognition as a defensive mind as long as MM is the mastermind of the defense. That’s why I kinda wonder about a defensive minded head coach. Seems like they can only be reactive. Physical and well disciplined but they still gotta operate off what the offense is doing. Such a huge difference between offensive and defensive teams.

Hahahahahaha
Macdonald has not had a great start.

Here's a related question: have there ever been any other Seahawks coaches as far out of their depth as Huff and Grubb?

Not Seahawks, not Seahawks-adjacent; does anyone remember Jim Zorn in DC?

Hard to think of any. Nice guys, meant well and are very good college football coaches - and absolutely no shame in that. I wish them the best.

But yeah, they were promoted to a level of football that was well beyond their capabilities. They'd have been better off if they had been able to learn the pro game in roles that allow for learning on the job - quality control, assistant OL, assistant QBs coach etc
