The Seattle Seahawks have made the franchise's first head-coaching hire in 14 years after the firing of Pete Carroll as they have hired Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald as head coach after a lengthy decision-making process. 

Seattle and the Washington Commanders were the final two teams with a head-coaching vacancy. … with Quinn being a finalist in both spots. …

And now just a finalist in Washington, where he seems to be one of four Commanders possibilities.

Macdonald, 36, is a “fresh face” compared to Quinn, 53, who was a Super Bowl coordinator in Seattle previously in his fine career.

Quinn has been in Dallas for three seasons during which he’s overseen some of the best play-making defenses of the era.

During the 2023 regular season, Baltimore’s defense posted a league-leading 60 sacks and allowed the sixth-fewest offensive yards per game (301.4). And Macdonald now brings that to Seattle … while we wait to see what the future holds for Quinn.
