Watch the full interview here and listen to Brock and Salk react after the interview on their podcast now. bit.ly/BrockAndSalk

The more he talks the more I like him.

[@sammcbride2149]

Coach Macdonald used part of the segment to promote his wife as a singer. Now that's a good husband.

Love the authenticity in everything. “Chasing edges” got me fired up!!

Yes sir, how much and how deep

[@mrh3894]

Eww

[@timcole213]

The Hawks became stagnant under Carroll. MacDonald is an innovator and he's hiring successful innovators. Let's wait and see what it looks like.

[@diggitus]

The Scottish references will abound

[@funkyflights]

LoL

[@Eli-Boolin]

The more interviews I watch the more I’m glad I’m a Seahawks fan n we are in good hands💪🏾💯

[@littlebilly8747]

I like how he seems to want to build on the standards and foundations Pete established. “Seahawks football” should be something that can transcend the whoever happens to be the HC, like a tradition

[@willgolightly8381]

Also seems we might finally create an identity for our offense, it felt like we did not have an identity for offense last year.

This guy right here will bring us at least two chips in 6 years. He is the difference maker weve been waiting for since the departure of LOB!

[@brandonl2555]

…hold your horses. How bout we let him coach a quarter of a preseason game before fitting him for a gold jacket. Chances are greater that he won’t win any in the next 6 years than he wins 2…or even 1 for that matter, especially with Geno.

[@mrh3894]

What if he doesn't bring us any?

[@costco_pizza]

That is not acceptable. What we witnessed yesterday with the Chiefs winning 2 superbowls back to back shows that we need to produce the same result. @@mrh3894

[@PoopythePlumber]

I don’t see him as a coach he’s more. Fit to be a coordinator judging from his demeanor

[@jamesstradley3232]

The more I watch him the more excited I am for the season to start GO HAWKS

[@josephhennessy9785]

Genuine dude with a love for the game. Humble, humility but confident in what he wants to do.

[@ryanrichardson9915]

The more I hear him talk, the more I like him. The "less aware" 12's need to give him the chance and the time he will need. But this guy could be the next great coach in this league. I have always loved John Harbaugh, and he reminds me so much of him. I mean, how could he not. He has been surrounded by great coaches with great football minds his entire coaching career. Georgia, Michigan, Baltimore...Seattle.

[@susanmartin3762]

I'm a loyal 12 and I really thought I would be heart broken when Pete stepped down. I wasn't. I was ready. Pete was ready. 14 years of leaving heart, mind body and soul on a football field is an exhausting job. Coach Pete is still VERY MUCH a part of our team. He's going to continue being there just in a different office. I'm excited about Mike. I've watched and read just about everything I can get my hands on and this is a BRILLIANT DECISION to hire him. Look at what and who he's bringing with him! It's going to be a new dawn and a new day and a new life for our Hawks... and I'm feelin' good!😎💙💚

[@Slaqin]

@@susanmartin3762you don’t actually think pete is still a part of the team 😂 they just said that to make the firing easier, bro won’t be anywhere near this team going forward

[@scruffybuddha]

@@susanmartin3762 I'm sorry to say, but KJ confirmed on his podcast that Pete is not interested or going to take up the "advisor" position. Apparently Pete was offered that to save face and hide the fact that he was fired.

[@dogzillamonster]

Very impressive, am fully behind supporting Coach Mike.

[@billytheweasel]

This helped letting go of Pete. Appreciated, respect. Even the questions demonstrated journalistic integrity and thoughtfulness on the fly.

[@Pluhh12]

I love how level headed he is.

Congratulations Coach and awesome hirings!!

[@robpolston8519]

Extremely well spoken. Hawks are lucky to have this guy for sure

[@corythayne7420]

Man I love this guy. Talking about having an identity. That was a big problem last year. He's very calm, cool, collected it seems.

[@bp1194]

It's so refreshing to hear him talk.

[@markmitchelle9240]

I’m just so happy this guy is our Coach ,so excited for the upcoming season!!

[@vintagemotoseattle]

Man... Mike has had some BAD interviews. local news asking him LAME questions. This is what i love about Brock n Saulk. They have a constructive conversation, they ask unique questions without making the coach uncomfortable or wondering "is our time up yet?" which is how i felt he was with Paul Silvi.

[@LeahE-dc1gu]

I love our new coach! Go Hawks!!

[@lbarry00]

pleasantly surprised to see this tradition continuing with the new coach! It's been really cool to hear from coach Mike, hope this keeps going!

[@Blueredgreen123]

Coach Macdonald if you’re seeing this - can we please get Jayden Daniel’s. We can sit him behind Geno for a year if needed but young agile and will get along with our team.

[@BiggoSuave]

He’s gonna be 24 why would u sit him behind and Geno? He’ll be 35 before he get 2nd contract

[@MrRod269]

Coach Mikeeeee! Lets goooo and win this superbowl! 🔥🔥 Go Hawks!

[@Viper42041]

I’m stoked for a new chapter, but Coach McDonald still needs to make his bones with me. He needs to show he can win.

[@earlyates1383]

Subtle, but did anyone else notice he referenced the QBs as Drew and Geno instead of Geno and Drew as might be expected?

[@williamle3847]

reading into it too much. i mean it’s in alphabetical order does that mean anything

[@AontheArtist]

Yep, everyone thinks its gonna be geno but ppl will be in for a surprise

[@t1202j]

Profound

[@lairo253]

@@AontheArtist I think it just means he has an open mind to who he wants to start at qb next year, could be drew, could be geno or a draft pick if he isnt satisfied with either

[@Spartan0430]

@@williamle3847 people look for patterns and meanings in every little thing. from the random alignment of stars and tea leaves to a meaningless ordering of a sentence. drew lock is not going to replace the two time pro bowler, barring a catastrophic injury.
