Ted’s Talk: If Pete Carroll was Earl Thomas, Mike Macdonald is Kam Chancellor

Each time the 2024 Seattle Seahawks step on the field, we learn a little more about first-year head coach Mike Macdonald’s leadership style and just how much of a contrast it is from Pete Carroll’s. I’m not knocking Pete at all since I loved having him as the head coach in Seattle for over a decade overseeing the most successful period in team history.

You can tell, however, that Macdonald is his own person – seemingly a more stoic, buttoned-up kind of guy. Pete? He was all electricity and juice, chomping gum on the sidelines and cheering as much, if not more, than the actual players on the field.
