Quick takes from Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald’s press conference

After completing all the contractual obligations the Seattle Seahawks introduced new head coach Mike Macdonald.

What was most notable from the beginning of the press conference was how much aligned General Manager  John Schneider and new head coach Mike Macdonald. Both are humble, deeply faith-based, believe in family, and are driven to perfection. The two also understand that this is a player-driven league.

ITS A PLAYER-DRIVEN GAME

In all his time with the  Seahawks  Schneider has always talked about how important it is to have a winning culture made up of talented players with character.  No doubt part of why Macdonald was hired is because he shares the same philosophy of having players with character and talent.

ITS GOING TO TAKE HARD WORK TO GET THERE

The Seahawks missed the playoffs last year for just the fourth time in 14 seasons. A four game losing streak  to the Rams, Niners, Cowboys  and Niners   between November 19th and December 10th  doomed the Seahawk’s season despite winning three of their last four games. The team lacked consistency and cohesion. During  Thursdays  press conference Macdonald  showed he is beyond his age by poinitig out that there will be no easy fixes for the Seahawks

The hard work will begin with a thorough evaluation and then hiring of the coaching staff to complement MacDonald’s vision. Once the coaching staff has been completed the next will be to evaluate the players and make some tough decisions on who stays and who goes.
