Get excited, 12s — the Seahawks finally landed a new head coach. The team has hired Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to take over the role vacated by the legendary Pete Carroll.
At age 36, Macdonald is now the youngest head coach in the NFL. Consider that Carroll was the oldest coach at 72 and you can see that the Seahawks are changing things up a bit.
Fans will love the defensive know-how Macdonald brings. But the young’n will still need to get in Seattleites’ good graces in other ways. Here are a few suggestions:
- Sell off every umbrella he has (we don’t roll like that)
- Practice saying “the mountain’s out”
- Pay respects to the Pete Carroll Gum Wall mural
- Beat the pants off the Niners, no matter what
We compiled a full list of unwritten Seattle rules in case you need the playbook, coach. We’re rooting for ya.
