One of the side stories of Conference Championship weekend was how the results would impact the availability of two Seattle Seahawks head coaching candidates.
The Baltimore Ravens lost at home to the Kansas City Chiefs, paving the way for defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to be available for interview starting this week. Seattle did not interview Macdonald during the Wild Card week window, which was shrunken a bit by the Seahawks not parting ways with Pete Carroll until Wednesday. It’s been reported that the Seahawks intended to interview Macdonald once Baltimore’s season ended.
