@manztrades Sheesh. I knew Park City was getting bad but I didn’t think it’d get like this. Last year I spent 45 minutes at Snowbird in a lift line - this looks like it’s several hours long.
@SEA_Hoops Can he be great someday? Sure & as a Seahawk fan I hope he becomes a HOF’er. But right now ya cant argue that his ability to coach and his scheme (which is his calling card) is anything other than…bad. that’s the perspective. They don’t call the NFL ‘not-for-long’ for nothing.
Mike Macdonald is not a great HC (yet) and his supposed genius defensive scheme is chewed up game after game. What does he actually have to hang his hat on?
This is an almost worst case scenario for the Seahawks.
@SEA_Hoops Yes I am throwing these takes around. This is supposed to be the smartest guy in the room with the best defensive scheme and not only is his scheme getting torched, he’s got guys fighting each other. Youngest or oldest - RIGHT NOW he’s doing a poor job as a HC.
@Softykjr Macdonald is no Pete Carroll - at least not yet.
Carroll was a philosophy/culture coach.
Macdonald is scheme/strategy guy.
Pete had years of proof his philosophy worked.
Macdonald’s highly touted scheme is getting shredded.
This version of the Seahawks will struggle A LOT.
Seahawks run defense is still trash. I can’t help but wonder if it’s scheme, execution or both. Maybe, just maybe this defensive whiz kid coach isn’t a whiz kid after all?
So weird how the people screaming over the years that the #seahawks should throw the ball because they’ve got all these weapons are now upset they’re not running the ball. That’s fandom though.
Macdonald is a smart guy, he’s gonna have to show it when it counts. His scheme is getting chewed up. The offense can’t run the ball. Special teams subpar.
It’s going to be interesting to see how Macdonald pulls the Seahawks out of this little slide. I’m in no way insinuating he can’t but this is a rookie head coach that could be on a 3 game slide come Thursday night. Something we haven’t seen often in Seattle football. Can he do it
We’ll soon find out but I think this is precisely the reality you run the risk of by promoting a great middle manager to the C-suite. No one wanted Dan Quinn but you see what he’s doing in Washington.
