I love this so so much. People don’t fully understand how fucking lucky we are to have Mike. Everyone on this team adores him
He’s clearly an excellent communicator to have the defensive players bought into the scheme like they are. Shows up in how well they move as a unit, rarely get beat deep, rarely miss tackles etc
We have the best defensive coach in football right now and he’s only 38
been hyped for this man since he was hired. what he did in baltimore in 2 years was impressive to say the least. what he’s done here in 2 years is probably even more impressive considering the qb situation.
Source on this pic? Is this pregame? Cool shot
Witherspoon and reed? Im terrible with faces
So he’s worth at least 4 1st rounders right??? 😆
Honestly never thought we’d be in such a spoiled coaching situation again, much less 2 years after parting with Pete.
I thought it was so you could smoke big stogies in the locker room after the game.
Pete will always be a Seahawks legend and we’ll love him forever. He won our first Super Bowl and had 10 years of good to great football…
But Mike Mac could pretty quickly overshadow Pete as the greatest Seahawks coach of all time. He’s just different. This pic of him on the computer says it all.
Their approaches are almost as different as can be. Mike Mac using technology and planning to be on the cutting edge of innovation, rewarding players when they earn it but keeping them accountable and disciplined otherwise.
Pete’s Xs and Os were very basic and he basically kept the same philosophy through his entire tenure (maybe his entire career), keeping scheme simple and giving players a long leash to get the best out of them on game day. And when it worked, it really worked. But even when it was working, players like Sherm saw the flaws and poked holes in the “kumbaya” facade.
This year – the Seahawks success and Pete’s disappointing curtain call – prove something we’ve known for a while: age matters. The best coaches in the league are under 50. Innovation moves fast and leaves you behind if you keep running out the same strategies from 40 years ago.
All this to say… I like Mike. Keep nerding out.
Listen to Mike on Brock and Salk at 9:30 every Monday or day after the game. It’s a great segment to listen to and you get good insight into how he coaches.
Mike hired a therapist type person to sit in the locker room so he could get feedback on how to be a better leader and communicator. He shows in his actions that he is working so hard to win it all, and that dedication clearly has paid dividends to the rest of the team. We are so lucky. Thank you John Schneider!
How can we be certain he’s not playing Call of Duty?
“GUYS. Guys come look at this Reddit post….Do you think the dress is blue?”
What a great photo
Cool picture. Hope he’s here for a while.
the man won 14 games in his second season, whatever the result of this season is, i can’t wait to enjoy mike for the next decade plus.
“so we go to settings, display… Oops, didn’t mean to touch that, how do we go back, oooh that’s not for your eyes just pretend you didn’t see that, okay getting back… Come on what the hell, I did not open this… Who the hell even installed minesweeper?! Aaaargh. It cannot possibly be this hard to change a background image”
“So, this is how you convert a word document to a pdf”
No Mac’s MacDonald.
I loved him being hired from the very moment it was announced. I’m really interested to see if he and JS have longevity in their success.
