In an unexpected turn of events, the Seattle Seahawks have taken advantage of their Super Bowl downtime to conduct a face-to-face interview with Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald. While many Seahawks fans may not have anticipated this particular matchup in the Super Bowl, the team has been making favorable progress this week.

According to Ian Rapoport, Macdonald has made a strong impression on multiple teams during his interviews. The Seahawks, potentially eyeing him as a top candidate, have wasted no time in bringing Macdonald in for an interview on Tuesday. This move suggests that Macdonald could have been holding out for one of the premier job openings, which include the Seahawks and the Washington Commanders.

Ben Johnson, another coaching candidate in consideration by both the Seahawks and the Commanders, appears to be leaning towards Washington, according to rumors. All eyes will be on whether these speculations come true this week.

This turn of events comes after the media's collective support for Dan Quinn as the frontrunner for the Seahawks' vacant coaching position. However, with the Seahawks being patient and not rushing into a decision, they now have the opportunity to truly select the best candidate for the job.

The Seahawks' General Manager, John Schneider, will likely make a swift decision this week since all the candidates are now available for interviews. It remains to be seen if Macdonald will be the one to fill the coaching void in Seattle.

This unexpected interview with Macdonald has added an air of intrigue to the Seahawks' coaching search. As fans eagerly await the team's decision, it is clear that the Seahawks are carefully considering all their options to ensure they find the right person to lead their team moving forward.
