Seahawks to Interview Lions OC Ben Johnson and Ravens DC Mike Macdonald for Head Coaching Vacancies

In a developing situation, the search for Pete Carroll's replacement as head coach for the Seattle Seahawks may soon be coming to an end. According to a report from Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Seahawks have set their sights on two potential candidates following the conclusion of the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens' seasons.

After the Ravens fell 17-10 to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Lions lost 34-31 to the San Francisco 49ers, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald became available for interviews. Pelissero reports that the Seahawks are wasting no time and have scheduled interviews with both coordinators.

The Seahawks will begin their interview process by meeting with Ben Johnson on Monday afternoon in Detroit. Johnson has served as the Lions' offensive coordinator and has caught the attention of the Seahawks' organization. The team will then proceed to interview Mike Macdonald on Tuesday morning, hoping to gather more insights from the Ravens' defensive coordinator.

With all the final head coaching candidates now available for interviews, Pelissero suggests that the Seahawks could potentially wrap up their decision-making process within the next 48 hours. This means that a new head coach may be announced by the end of the week.

The Seahawks and the Washington Commanders are the remaining teams in search of a new head coach. Both franchises are taking advantage of the coordinators becoming available after their respective teams' seasons came to a close. It remains to be seen who will ultimately fill the vacant head coaching spots, but the interviews with Ben Johnson and Mike Macdonald are significant steps forward in the hiring process.

As the search for Pete Carroll's successor enters its final stages, Seahawks fans eagerly await the decision that will shape the future of their beloved team.
