The Seattle Seahawks were one of two remaining NFL teams with a head coaching vacancy. But it now appears the franchise has found its next leader. 

The Seahawks will hire Mike Macdonald as the team's next head coach, according to multiple reports.

Macdonald spent the past two seasons as the Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator.

The 36-year-old Macdonald will be the youngest head coach in the league. Former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, 72, was the oldest coach in the league.

Macdonald's first stint with the Ravens began a decade ago. He served in various coaching roles, eventually working his way up to the team's linebackers coach in 2018. He left Baltimore to take the defensive coordinator job at Michigan in 2021.

Macdonald re-joined the NFL ranks in 2022 as the Ravens defensive coordinator.

Macdonald was credited with building one of the NFL's top-rated defenses this season. The Ravens' defense allowed the fewest points per game in 2023 and also recorded more sacks than any other team in the league.
