Despite leading the effort, Mike Macdonald didn\u2019t even watch the Super Bowl LX tape himself.<\/p>\n<p>The Seattle Seahawks head coach just watched it for the first time this past week.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Kay Adams at the NFL\u2019s league meetings today, he said he finally got around to watching it- but only after getting tired of watching college players ahead of the draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFull disclosure, I\u2019ve only watched it once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the week following the game, Macdonald told Brock &amp; Salk <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/brock-and-salk\/seattle-seahawks-notes-why-macdonald-hasnt-watched-super-bowl-tape\/1838870\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:he was hesitant to watch the tape;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;he was hesitant to watch the tape&quot;}\" class=\"link \">he was hesitant to watch the tape<\/a> after on the Seattle Sports Radio station- because with a coaches mindset, you\u2019re always looking to improve, and he couldn\u2019t see it any other way. This sentiment seems to have stayed with him, when compared with what he told Adams about watching it for the first time:<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the idea of how we played from first-person watching the game, but when I watch it from the coach\u2019s perspective, I can never really put my coach\u2019s hat on, on my own, I critique it probably too hard, so I\u2019m actually thinking of the plays that maybe we could\u2019ve played better, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coaches barely ever get a chance to feel satisfaction. It\u2019s an extremely volatile field to work in, with little to no job security and immense pressure far more often giving it a daunting feeling than the slivers you get to enjoy in the rare instance you do win a championship. Although Macdonald is such a young head coach, he realizes that this moment is fleeting. He has to soak it all in before it\u2019s time to go right back into war.<\/p>\n<p>It makes it all the more fitting that only once he began preparing for the next season, watching college players for the draft, he finally went back and watched the tape of his Super Bowl victory- savoring it for himself to preserve the moment, with rushing through it not even considered.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Seahawks Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/seahawkswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/seahawks\/2026\/04\/01\/super-bowl-lx-mike-macdonald-finally-watched-seahawks-win-on-tape\/89411163007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Super Bowl LX&quot; Mike Macdonald finally watched Seahawks&#039; win on tape;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Super Bowl LX&amp;quot&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Super Bowl LX&#8221; Mike Macdonald finally watched Seahawks&#8217; win on tape<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On February 8, nearly all of Seattle tuned into televisions across the city to watch their team put&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":848574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[7,9892,2860,6,238,237,261,116216,2635,505,5725],"class_list":{"0":"post-848573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-kay-adams","10":"tag-mike-macdonald","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-seahawks","13":"tag-seattle","14":"tag-seattle-seahawks","15":"tag-seattle-sports-radio","16":"tag-seattleseahawks","17":"tag-super-bowl","18":"tag-tape"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116333189742126131","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/848574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
