On Wednesday, multiple reports announced the Seattle Seahawks have hired Ravens Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald. Below are the reactions from the Baltimore Beatdown staff.
It felt inevitable. Macdonald is too brilliant a coordinator to not earn a head coaching opportunity elsewhere. As I’ve said, he’s proven himself at every level, from being an intern with the Ravens organization to commanding a dominant University of Michigan defense to coordinating the NFL’s best defense.
It’s a frustrating loss in the fact the Ravens can’t keep their staff for multiple years without being poached. They churn out talent, from players to coaches to front office minds.
