SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks are hiring Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald as their next head coach and giving him a six-year contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

Macdonald, 36, becomes the NFL's youngest head coach and brings to Seattle a reputation as one of the league's top defensive minds, having led the Ravens to No. 1 in points allowed, sacks and takeaways in 2023, his second season as Baltimore's coordinator. Macdonald will replace longtime coach Pete Carroll after the Seahawks announced earlier this month that Carroll, 72, would not return as the coach in 2024.
