New head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Mike McDonald, revealed that the team needs to show itself under the new staff. This is the first staff change since 2010, according to a report from NFL Network.  ( marinabays  )

The Seahawks will begin the 2024 season in unfamiliar territory after the departure of Pete Carroll, who served as head coach for 14 years before being replaced by McDonald. The former Baltimore Ravens wide receivers coach faces difficulties in the free agent market and preparation for the 2024 draft. 

‘I think it went well. Obviously, there’s no playbook for this type of responsibility,’ McDonald said. ‘We have a plan in place. But you just try to do your best each day and stack the days on top of each other. And now that we’re looking back at five or six weeks, I feel like we’ve made a lot of progress. But there’s just so much more work to be done.’

Knowing he is taking over from successful coach Carroll is another motivation for McDonald as he recognizes the importance of charting his own path as a leader. Figuring out what defines his team and how to create lasting success as a franchise. 

‘(Carroll) was instrumental in building this foundation. Which is what the Seahawks are, and that’s one reason why this opportunity is so interesting. So it’s difficult to separate those things.’

‘however As I said in the press conference The only person who is unique to me is me. So that’s what I’m going to be. I have a way of seeing things. And what I believe and many other things It’s consistent with what he believes from what I understand.’

‘This team needs to express itself like every other team every year. And I will lead that part. So it will be in our vision. And we will move forward.’

‘I think we have the hunger. I think we are a committed group. I think we have a lot of great people on our team. Both players and coaches There is much more to prove. And I’m excited about that. So it will start now, definitely starting on April 8th when people enter the building. and we will begin to pursue it’
