Stay healthy fellas and have fun on Sunday. At the end of the day it’s just football. I wish everyone and their families nothing but a prosperous and joyful year! Finish as strong as we can and God bless. 🙏💪🏽
And we’re impressed with what you did with the defense this year, Coach! Can’t wait to see the team grow and the moves we make this draft and offseason! I’ve got a good feeling we’ll shore up that O-line and silence the Schneider doubters. Go Hawks!
Not a bad rookie season for coach Mac Donald. However, next season the expectations are going to be higher. I sure as hell don’t want to be cheering the Falcons on in week 17 praying for a play-in game.
The greatest stake is building a culture of trust and winning. The whole notion of a game not meaning anything because the preferred consequence isn’t on offer isn’t the point. It would be weak minded to not want to go out there and do the job you’re hired to do Go Hawks✌️
I get he is not a people pleaser, based off of what Ravens players have said about him, he earns his respect. And it shows, and it will show more next season with the offense. Our Seahawks WILL win super bowls with him.
Just get that O-line right and use the the great running backs we have to help out Geno if they plan on running with him next year but the o-line is all we have to fix basically and building chemistry off what we did this year
I get injuries happen, but our run game and OL combo were not cutting it this season. Charbonnet was only about 150 yards off Walker’s season numbers. Depending on how this game goes, he’ll pass Walker for the season. Having games where there’s only 50 rushing yards all game is not good. Having teams know we’ll barely even try to run the ball is not good. Some things need to be looked at this off-season.
amen. 90% of this fan base is 13 yr old kids who’ve never played a snap of football in their life. geno is a top 10 qb playing under the worst oline i’ve ever seen, yet they blame it on him. smh!
Hope we keep Geno too been a Geno believer since WV. These fair weathered fans that complain about Geno forget that we started 12 different combinations of OL Geno would be elite behind a better OLine
I’ve been watching for about 10 years now. I can’t remember us ever having a solid OL. There’s a reason Russ used to scramble so much when he was playing for Seattle 😅
@@rebekahjameson9337Russ scrambled cuz he couldn’t see in the pocket. He caused so many of his own sacks. He has some bad Line play in the last 5 years but the first 5 he had some solid line play.
Thanks for a good year, Mike. Just like players the game of being a HC will slow down. This was your first year and you did turn our defense around. There was only one decision you made that I still think was wrong. Myself and my best pal made the trek for the Rams game. We live in Victoria BC. There is an hour and 40 minute ferry ride to Vancouver. We pre booked passage so you need to arrive 30 minutes early to keep your spot. The ferry departed at 7am. The drive from there is 2.5 hours. Great that's the color of the day. The call came in we were 4th and 2 on or around the Rams 12 yard line. The offensive play call was not of your making. However, you could veto it as we were in a timeout. Kicking the field goal was the proper call. I know it sounds like second guessing, but i did say take the three. Number one that puts us in the lead. The Rams can do no worse than kicking their own field goal, if they don't they lose. Our play call was terrible. A run up the guts with a porus offensive line leaves no room for any error. For arguments sake let's say Jason has around a 97% chance of making the kick. I must mention even if we do convert the 4th and two ot is far from certain you go on to make a touchdown. We were in about the same spot after Cody White blocked a punt. Geno then made his worst throw of the year and was picked off in the endzone. If we had spread everybody wide on 4th and 2 with Geno under center what ever you called wouldn't have bothered me. The reason the defense would have had so many more things to think about. If we had someone in motion when the ball was snapped even better. So let's say we take the easy three from 29 yards. After that, we kick deep they take a knee and start from their 30. They only need to make 30 yards to kick a 50-yard field goal. If they do great, we are tied with 3 minutes to go. The ball is now ours and a timeout in our pocket. Because we don't have the 3 points when they gain just 10 yards and a first down you have to call the the defense completely differently. With just a flick of the wrist Stafford can put them in position to kick a 50 yarder and win the game. Let's say they make another first down by making only 10 yards. After that you have no choice a pressure package has to be called. We need to push them backwards and stop this drive now. We bring pressure one of our corners, Jobe, is playing in only his third game. This puts him in a one on one and he is to far forward on his skis. With the three points in your pocket he never ends up in that position where Stafford can take advantage of the rook who in fairness is only out of position by 1.5 to 2 yards. The point is he has safety help. Stafford probably wouldn't have made that throw as Jobe was still in a position to make a play on any ball that was thrown a half yard less than it was. For your first full season as a head coach you did very well. The players respect, trust, and by the sound of it likes you. There are some big decisions to make this off season. I trust Earnest Jones IV is a priority. Ryan Grubb is a tough choice. On offense Geno needs attention unless John pulls off a trade for Sanders or Ward. Take what you learned and keep stacking those wins. Do what ever you have to regarding the O line. Draft them trade for them, get one from the CFL, or build one in a lab named Frankie Stein. Please we have seen this movie every year but two. Rashaad Penny played great for the last half of one season. He started off 2022 hot. Unfortunately he broke his leg and Walker ran for over a thousand with more than 900 yards coming in 12 games. Beat Jimmy G and those dang Rams on Sunday. Really beat them with authority so they are worried about us from now on.
In Mike We Trust. 💪🏻 Looking forward to this full off season. Resign EJ4 ASAP. Fix the OL. Add depth at Edge. Love Coach’s attitude: “we’re not soft”. 💚💙 PS. Can we cut off Condotta’s mic 🎤 please? Mumble, stumble questions are brutal. The entire media needs to up their game.
I hope this guy gets more quality players-if I were a coach (no one would hire me but) I would concentrate on building strong o and d lines-an average QB and or RB can flourish if the are winning at the line of scrimage
I still think Mike is the guy to lead this team forward, and this season went about right in my mind when you consider the new personnel, new coaches, coordinators. I think the lack of off season success with the free agents absolutely crippled this team. J.S is still a great GM but man oh man did he have a hellish off season. Williams and Tomlinson were supposed to solidify this OL but it had the opposite effect. Both LB's didn' t work out etc. I think Grubb has struggled to adjust. They put too much on Geno, Geno is a good QB but to expect him to put the offense on his shoulders when we can't run the ball or block is just too much for him.
This is the issue: when we become too fixated on a player because of their long tenure and veteran status, it holds back progress. Yes, we shouldn’t elevate them too much because of their past accomplishments, but let’s look at it this way: we were so focused on Russell Wilson, especially with all his off-field charity work that helped build his image, yet we didn’t put him on a pedestal either-and that was for the better. However, he ultimately believed he was the one carrying the team. In reality, too much ego or an overemphasis on one player who thinks they were the benchmark for the Seahawks’ success can crumble the team as a whole. Football is a team sport, and no one player should be put above the collective effort. It’s about the whole team working together, not just one individual. That being said, we love Lockett-he’s the OG, the veteran, and has been a core part of this team for years. But maybe it’s time to reconsider his role as a receiver. The team needs to evolve, and possibly that means thinking about drafting new talent to ensure we stay competitive and continue to progress as a unit.
Who is Lockett mentoring anyway? Definitely not Metcalf-maybe JSN since he’s young? But even then, JSN already seems to know what he’s doing. He broke records at Ohio State and in Texas HS records and Texas is known for football.
We can’t replace Geno if we don’t have an Oline. We need to invest. If Geno fails under a solid Oline then so be it. But we cannot afford to draft some rookie this offseason when we have someone who can actually help. Coach Mac gots this and I hope we play the breaks off the Rams who isn’t even playing Stafford. Punish that fraudulent team
Get geno out ,fix oline, and if we dont get our qb fire john Schneider . 2024 was a disappointing season so much talent in our roster Lets go hawks 2025
Geno has been a good transition QB after Russ but we need to train up someone to take over. Also knowing that this is the same GM that let Bobby Wagner walk out of Seattle a second time and traded 2 first round picks for Jamal Adams, I worry what will happen in the off-season. Just a reminder: DK’s contract is up this year…. 😅
I am sorry this press conference and its content is just a waste of time...we are talking and being oh so nice about NOTgoing to the playoffs again, are we a big franchise or just a 9-8 team for thr the next umpteen years...
What exactly were your expectations? Brand new head coach, brand new offensive coach to the NFL, non functioning offensive line with trials and tribulations. Took a defense that was ranked 28 to top 10. Had to deal with an offense that ranked 12 to 26th because Grubb cant adapt. Vegas had us at odds for 7.5 wins, we overshot and quite honestly got in our own ways of winning 3 additional games. Mike is doing a great job, deserves the credit and I can't wait to see how he takes his skills over to the offensive side of the game. If you wanna be mad at someone point it at Schneider, dudes been asleep at the wheel far too long and it's time to build up that o line. Go hawks
I wanted dan quinn. He was apart of the seahawks before. He knows the formula we had in the LOB days. Not getting him was a failure by john. But..... I do like mike. But mike needs to get rid of geno and stop starting walker. Rebuild the o line through draft and free agency
K9 shouldn’t being asking for a big contract bro hasn’t stayed healthy a full season every year for us but I wouldn’t mind letting him go and rolling with Zach and Kenny
Don't diss our rookie coach! Things didn't go quite right, but he is still amazing. He did a lot to fix the defense, which is his specialty. Unfortunately the support he brought in was variable. I don't like the OC... But he's learning too. Baltimore hated seeing Mike go, and I can see why!
@Judson-p9v Piss off! Hope we flush your team. Besides, how intelligent are you for expecting a guy who hasn't been a head coach before to make it to the playoffs first year? We have an entire new crew of coaches, which we needed. You'd be lucky to be as successful with such a big change!
GENO GOT TO TAKE A PAY CUT HE DIDNT PLAY GOOD THIS YEAR IF HE DONT WANT TO LET HIM GO AND BRING A REAL HUNGRY KID NOT A WANNABE THATS GOING TO GIVE YOU QUOTES WHEN WE LOSE WE NEED A MF THAT LETS HIS ACTIONS TALK
I loved Mike in this press conference. His closing comments were so refreshing.
Yet the beginning he was stuttering again and saying the same thing. Like Pete. Smh I like Mike yet I’ve noticed those tendencies that tells me he stills doesn’t know and or not comfortable with what was said or what he’s saying.
@@robertcann720 I think he will get better with time.
11:35 - "That is soft, frankly. And that is not who we are going to be." - Awesome.
We got our coach. That's for sure. Now John needs to step it up and get him some more players, including an o line.
Stay healthy fellas and have fun on Sunday. At the end of the day it’s just football. I wish everyone and their families nothing but a prosperous and joyful year! Finish as strong as we can and God bless. 🙏💪🏽

and hopefully get a new QB
Seahawks are in great hands
It has been great to actually hear the reporters questions this season!!
Love this guy! Thanks for being the guy, Mike!!!
Gotta love this coach.
Never been this confident going into the off season, exited to see what we can do next year!
Mike Mac, leader of men💪 We're blessed to have him!
Not a bad rookie season for coach Mac Donald. However, next season the expectations are going to be higher. I sure as hell don’t want to be cheering the Falcons on in week 17 praying for a play-in game.
I am getting Bill Belichick vibes the way Mike Mcdonald talks😂
Come on Mike Macdonald! Let's go Seahawks!
Bye Grubb. It was fun while it lasted but 9 wins is not acceptable around here.
You are on the right path with seahawks Mickie,go get it next year
I'm really depressed about losing to the Giants at home.
what a joke
Seems like a waste of feelings my guy. That happened months ago. Look forward not backward.
Sorry dude. Daniels Jones played a pro bowl game that day. Prob his only 😂

Our DTs were a bright spot over all. They stopped getting punked by mid season
Honestly front 7 lbs and dts
Just get that O-line right and use the the great running backs we have to help out Geno if they plan on running with him next year but the o-line is all we have to fix basically and building chemistry off what we did this year
this team will be dangerous next year, callin it now
Yes, sir. Resolve is not an option. Honor, Coach Mike! GREAT COACH! Happy New Year!🎉🙏🫶💚💙☺️🫡
Why does nobody ever ask mike the tough questions?
What tough question did you want them to ask?
Brian does..lol
