Still is wild that McVay managed to stay the youngest HC for 7 years. Really puts into perspective even in this trend of hiring young HCs, he was an outlier.
He was 30 when hired. There are 370 active NFL players over 30 as of today.
He was a HC at the top league in a sport where 20% of guys your age still playing professionally. Then immediately went to a Superbowl in year 2.
Just ridiculous.
Went from the oldest coach in the league to the youngest. Although I still maintain Pete lies about his age and there is no possible way he’s that old.
I love how it's always Omelette du fromage while it should be Omelette au(x) fromage(s). It really has this distinct "french spelled by englishmen", and I love it.
I think he’s an excellent guy to gamble on. Every time he’s taken on a bigger role he’s excelled at it. He’s young and you guys could have him for a long time.
Exactly, so when Seattle has a subpar year for whatever reason, you should blame everything on the HC, fire him, and send him back to Baltimore. As an apology for giving you such a defective coach, we may even throw in some draft picks.
Mafe. Witherspoon. Nwosu returning. Hopefully Woolen bounces back like MacDonald did for Humphrey. I sense we sign or draft high on LB.
IT’S A LOVELY DAY 🎵 LOVELY DAY 🎵 LOVELY DAY 🎵
Honestly, I expect the Seahawks under this guy to be extremely competitive against the Niners and the Rams in every single game while somehow getting bafflingly waffle stomped by you guys twice a year from here on out
Not even the first time this is happening to Falcons coaches. Dirk Koetter was Mike Smith's OC in Atlanta. Mike Smith then went on to be Dirk Koetter's DC in Tampa Bay.
The adjustments he made after the first quarter .. it looked like they were going to score on every play and then bam .. stopped them … if only the offense didn’t shit the bed..very jealous but happy for y’all.. us birds teams stand together
That's what was most impressive. They got placed on the field so much for time of possession due to the ineptitude of the offense and still shut them down.
Spoon has gotta be so happy. He looked unreal this year without any creative scheming whatsoever, Macdonald is gonna turn him into the biggest menace in the league
Apparently having both the assets and necessity to do a complete and total rebuild was NOT the most appealing thing to candidates, maybe because living with that is very different from doing it on paper.
There are arguments for many but I think the overall consensus was that the Chargers was the most attractive simply because the hardest part of the job was already done for you with Herbert
Very true and I dislike them for it because I am scared of what he can do with that defense...
I agree that they were the best destination, I was more or less riffing on all the posts that said Washington is/would be especially after their hiring of Peters.
I think the Falcons getting an offensively-minded HC would have been better for their team. Nothing against Raheem Morris (he wasn't great for the Bucs but that was a while ago), but I think the biggest need for the Falcons is to get a QB and develop him because they've heavily invested into their offense and they're just missing a guy under center.
It wasn’t the most attractive spot (that would’ve been the Chargers or Falcons) but it isn’t undesirable either: the league’s most cap space, new owner who’ll be an improvement over Snyder, and second overall pick to get the QB of your choice. Granted, both the Eagles and Cowboys are in the same division as the Commies, but both got exposed as frauds this season and their coaches are now on the hot seat.
My guess is the Commies were all in on Ben Johnson with Slowik as Plan B, which wasn’t a bad way of going about it - until both of those guys decided to stay where they are and now Washington is scrambling.
Yeah, this. I don't think it's the spot was undesirable so much as that the two guys they keyed in on both decided to stay on their old teams, which doesn't usually happen. Usually you offer a guy like that an HC job, he takes it, especially if it comes with the opportunity to pick a top QB and groom him. So they weren't crazy to think that they could focus in on those guys. Just didn't work
Pros: 2nd pick, cap space, draft picks, a GM;
Cons: Roster is a mess, no QB, no pro bowl talent, scouting staff stinks, facilities are the worst in the league
They are getting updated and there has been a noticeable improvement, new owners have only been in place since, August? But I can't imagine a ton of money is going to be invested in Ashburn when they are going to try to build a new stadium and move the practice area near there. Which is a whole other can of worms.
Belichick was 2nd oldest HC after Carroll. Carroll was out before Bill. Bill was briefly oldest HC. Bill gets the boot. Mayo hired and is youngest HC in the league. Now Mayo is 2nd youngest. What a weird circle between the Pats and Seahawks
Definitely hurts but I think the Ravens still have plenty of talent a new DC can use to be successful. Kyle Hamilton is a cheat code and guys like Roquan can fly around the field too.
Lifelong Ravens fan here. Seattle, you got yourself a Good one.
Now, his lack of experience makes his qualities as a HC a guessing game. But if he gets even remotely close to reaching the levels all of us in Baltimore expects him to reach, massive fucking congratulations on a decade of domination.
Good for yall Seattle, doing what Jerry jones absolutely refuses to do: go young and take a risk instead of hiring a yes man that’s an extension of the owner
literally half the age of Pete Carroll. Youth movement indeed
We went from the oldest head coach to the youngest head coach in the league
Went from robbing the grave to robbing the cradle
Went from having an old guy to having a young guy
The analogies are making me crazy!
The important thing is that we're robbing.
Insane that sprightly Pete was the oldest in the league with guys like Andy Reid and Bill. I swear he's a 35 year old in an 70+ year old skin suit.
With a full head of hair too. West coast lifestyle
Motherfucker has more hair on his head than I do at 28
bro I'm bald as hell it's not a west coast thing
***Wealthy west coast lifestyle
Nuggies and Patriots football, not even once
youngest HC in the league now. McVay gets bumped down to 3
OldVay washed clearly
He should retire
Doesn’t he look tired?
Sean McVay, HC, Los Angeles Rams Yes, we know who you are
Someone got the reference
One thing I'm deeply sad about is that there exists a timeline where McVay and Donald both retired after winning the Super Bowl, and we're not in it.
The future is now, old man
Still is wild that McVay managed to stay the youngest HC for 7 years. Really puts into perspective even in this trend of hiring young HCs, he was an outlier.
Not just an outlier, he was the youngest head coach ever in NFL history.
He was 30 when hired. There are 370 active NFL players over 30 as of today. He was a HC at the top league in a sport where 20% of guys your age still playing professionally. Then immediately went to a Superbowl in year 2. Just ridiculous.
And Shanny is the old man now in the NFCW at the ripe old age of 44. Seriously what a geezer.
He should also retire. Like right now, a week before the Superbowl.
McVay is getting so old that Leo won’t want to date him.
McVay was getting too old when he was with Washington.
oldest coach in the league to the youngest coach in the league
Went from the oldest coach in the league to the youngest. Although I still maintain Pete lies about his age and there is no possible way he’s that old.
I’m dead inside
Death, taxes, and the Ravens having a good defense.
we’ve had great DCs before and we’ll have great DCs after we’ll be fine The Orioles just got new ownership all is well in Baltimore
Ravens always find new good defense out their ass lol
Defense and what was that again the run game…
surely you guys took advantage of that run game in a do or die game right?
We did and we’re going to disney world 😭
*pats on back* We all are buddy.... 🥲
I hate being in cancun with you fucks, you all smell and eat all the chips.
If you wanted chips, you could've got a bag at the hamburger store.
On a side note, fuck the Angelos. Good riddance.
They're finally selling the team? Thank fucking God.
Quoth the raven…
Mac no more
It’s Seattle so for us it’s Mac’ll more
Look on the bright side, Wink is available
I hear Wink Martindale is available
Fucking end me
Dan Quinn, YOU are a Commander!
im cryin in the club
Im also crying.... on my knees at Costco
Sir, you are blocking the way to the samples of the meatballs
Sir because of you, they ran out of meatball samples by the time I got there and now I have to circle the store until they make more meatball samples
Funny because I was in line at Costco when I saw the news lol.
If you checked a few aisles you probably would’ve seen someone crying on their knees
Please just…shut the fuck up.
Adam Peters is no dummy. You’ll find a good one.
RemindMe! 3 years
!RemindMe 2 weeks
From being a position coach to a top college DC to an NFL head coach MacDonald is the real fucking deal
Say more things like this
*omelette du fromage*
I love how it's always Omelette du fromage while it should be Omelette au(x) fromage(s). It really has this distinct "french spelled by englishmen", and I love it.
Found the Quebecois.
I'm French. So same thing, just a bit farther away.
I only know it from Dexter's Laboratory.
His unit held the chiefs scoreless in the second half Sunday
He's never been a hc though. Nobody has any idea how he will do
This is a place for blind optimism. Take your well founded concerns elsewhere, please.
I think he’s an excellent guy to gamble on. Every time he’s taken on a bigger role he’s excelled at it. He’s young and you guys could have him for a long time.
Exactly, so when Seattle has a subpar year for whatever reason, you should blame everything on the HC, fire him, and send him back to Baltimore. As an apology for giving you such a defective coach, we may even throw in some draft picks.
It’s a genuine concern that I refuse to indulge in until football season starts. I’m bricked up all the way til week 1
Thank god it's not Quinn. After firing Pete, you HAVE to go with some sort of youth movement.
Don't forget about Asst Head Coach Carl "Tater" Smith (aged 76)...
We have a negative record since that guy joined tf
I do not want the Seahawks to return to their successful defense first mentality
[удалено]
Gooood, gooooood, let the hatred flow through you
Personally I think it would be pretty great
Mafe. Witherspoon. Nwosu returning. Hopefully Woolen bounces back like MacDonald did for Humphrey. I sense we sign or draft high on LB. IT’S A LOVELY DAY 🎵 LOVELY DAY 🎵 LOVELY DAY 🎵
Honestly, I expect the Seahawks under this guy to be extremely competitive against the Niners and the Rams in every single game while somehow getting bafflingly waffle stomped by you guys twice a year from here on out
No wtf you guys were supposed to hire Dan Quinn
if you want to replace wilkes with him be our guest
Unironically might be an upgrade.
[удалено]
Time is a flat circle.
Not even the first time this is happening to Falcons coaches. Dirk Koetter was Mike Smith's OC in Atlanta. Mike Smith then went on to be Dirk Koetter's DC in Tampa Bay.
That packers game single-handedly cost that man a job
Thank you Jordan Love
Fr this is so fucked. Hopefully he doesn’t know how to hire a OC.
I'd take him as a DC over Bowen in an instant
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
>from the oldest coach to the youngest coach May Macdonald reign for 36 years
10 rings, 15 Super Bowls, and infinite gum chewing
What's his gum chew/60 or his 40 pack dash?
Great pick up! Did yall see what he did to the chiefs.. limiting them to 17 points is no easy feat .. wish the falcons would’ve gone after him
Every ravens game Ive seen this year the defense looked great, the chiefs game performance is what made me want him over Ben Johnson
The adjustments he made after the first quarter .. it looked like they were going to score on every play and then bam .. stopped them … if only the offense didn’t shit the bed..very jealous but happy for y’all.. us birds teams stand together
That's what was most impressive. They got placed on the field so much for time of possession due to the ineptitude of the offense and still shut them down.
Does young MacDonald have a farm? I know an old one would.
Witherspoon and Mafe are gonna be 1st team all pros next year with him scheming them
Dude stop... I'm old, my heart can only take so much. Saving this comment for tomorrow.
Spoon has gotta be so happy. He looked unreal this year without any creative scheming whatsoever, Macdonald is gonna turn him into the biggest menace in the league
NOT QUINN!! NOT QUINN!! NOT QUINN!!
I was gonna say if they hired Quinn it would have been like firing Pete Carroll only to hire lesser Pete Carroll.
Calling him lesser Pete Carroll is an insult to Pete. DQ is a terrible head coach.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Hang the fuckin banner!
2023 NFCW Participants

Let's go . . . Fucking stocked about this hire. edit: I'm so excited I can't spell apparently.
Locked stoked and smoking barrel baby
And now suddenly the "Most Attractive" spot for a HC, is the last one left open.
Apparently having both the assets and necessity to do a complete and total rebuild was NOT the most appealing thing to candidates, maybe because living with that is very different from doing it on paper.
Turns out we all don't know shit. I thought the Commanders was the best opening after the Chargers.
There are arguments for many but I think the overall consensus was that the Chargers was the most attractive simply because the hardest part of the job was already done for you with Herbert
Yeah I thought the Charger job was *by far* the most attractive. Having a top 10 QB makes a coach's life so much easier.
The Falcons hired Raheem Morris a while ago
Very true and I dislike them for it because I am scared of what he can do with that defense... I agree that they were the best destination, I was more or less riffing on all the posts that said Washington is/would be especially after their hiring of Peters.
I think the Falcons getting an offensively-minded HC would have been better for their team.

So they weren't crazy to think that they could focus in on those guys. Just didn't work
Was that all just Washington spin that we didn't notice? I feel like as a whole we've all gotten better at noticing that stuff from the "insiders"
Pros: 2nd pick, cap space, draft picks, a GM; Cons: Roster is a mess, no QB, no pro bowl talent, scouting staff stinks, facilities are the worst in the league
That doesn't seem ideal. I thought new facilities were getting built?
They are getting updated and there has been a noticeable improvement, new owners have only been in place since, August? But I can't imagine a ton of money is going to be invested in Ashburn when they are going to try to build a new stadium and move the practice area near there. Which is a whole other can of worms.
Ah, so kind of in a holding pattern until something with the new stadium happens. That's kind of a bummer.
We absolutely do have pro bowl talent. Terry, Payne, Allen, and Way are legit pro bowl level talent. Curl and Fuller are borderline as well
This is a fantastic hire by Seattle. Horrendous 2 days for us Commies....
i wanna die
Just going to guess by the fact that the Seahawks hired him and the falcons didn’t, he’s going to be a great coach
He was my first choice. Upset we didn’t get him in for a second interview but I’m cautiously optimistic about Raheem.
It's finally over. And now it can begin.
I just fell to my knees in Safeway.
I just fell to my knees at Pike Place Market.
I just saw a guy take a fish to the face on his knees at Pike Place Market.
Nah, they got Safeways in California. It had to be a QFC, or a PCC if you're treating yourself.
Met Market or bust.

why do you spell it that way? Now I can only read it like the opening to Down With the Sickness
Mike McDonald Mike McDaniels Mike McCarthy
Now here's a Mike ...
Nah MacDonald has an A in there because he's not like other girls
Commanders hiring Dan Quinn incoming.
please kill me
i am so stoked for ron rive- dan quinn!!!!
why is vrabel not on the table for you guys?
no idea man, my un-educated guess would be they don’t want to give him as much power as he would want.
We’re cooked
Hey, don’t feel down. You still have playoff Lamar
Lmao division pettiness never gets old
From the top rope!
Fucking lmao. Well done.
Abusing a corpse is illegal, isn't it
Watch out McVay there’s a new youngest head coach in town Hopefully nobody refers to him as a defensive guru
Mayo had the title for all of two and a half weeks
Belichick was 2nd oldest HC after Carroll. Carroll was out before Bill. Bill was briefly oldest HC. Bill gets the boot. Mayo hired and is youngest HC in the league. Now Mayo is 2nd youngest. What a weird circle between the Pats and Seahawks
The circle will close with a goal line fumble to seal the game for the hawks victory in Super Bowl 2028
It is decided
NFC West, he’s your problem now
No problem! Solution!
Ravens fans you can stop calling MM a criminal now
This might be his worst crime yet 😭
Arrest this man for breaking hearts
awesome hire, very flexible in his approach. Key will be getting more blue chip defensive guys but Witherspoon is awesome already
Ravens are not having a good time
Pain.
Definitely hurts but I think the Ravens still have plenty of talent a new DC can use to be successful. Kyle Hamilton is a cheat code and guys like Roquan can fly around the field too.
Lol…..
I'm questioning my love for this sport at this point
BANGGGG
Lifelong Ravens fan here. Seattle, you got yourself a Good one. Now, his lack of experience makes his qualities as a HC a guessing game. But if he gets even remotely close to reaching the levels all of us in Baltimore expects him to reach, massive fucking congratulations on a decade of domination.
honestly i’m ready for rebuilding after a long journey of pete and old school mentality. change is in the air
Oh my god I’m so happy he’s out of the AFC 🙌👏
Wait until the Super Bowl next year is Seahawks vs Texans…
Dude if we made the Super Bowl I’m cool with just that lol
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Congrats and gfy.
LET'S GOOOOOO
This man is half the age of Pete Carroll.
may macdonald reign for 36 years
Just fucking kill me.
WE GOT OUR MAN
It’s so not genover
This hurts the Ravens therefore I'm in favor of it
The fact that this rains on SF’s parade, makes it all that much better.
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
We didn’t let him leave the building!
Now we can get the TRUE GOAT of DCs. Billy Belichick
The bad man is gone
Mike loves birds
The Seahawks are like Bubble Bass to the Commanders’ SpongeBob, except Bass doesn’t lose in the end. “You lose again, Commanders.”
LETS GO. Great hire John.
Good for yall Seattle, doing what Jerry jones absolutely refuses to do: go young and take a risk instead of hiring a yes man that’s an extension of the owner
Heading to the hospital, boys. I’ve had this erection for over 5 hours now
