More money or not, even Macdonald knows that WAS is a dead end.

From the article:

"Another indicator: The typical term length for head coach contracts is four to five years. Macdonald agreed to a six-year deal. Leverage is helpful. Also in Seattle’s favor: more defensive talent, a quicker path back to contention and modern practice and game day facilities."

Essentially, all the things that WAS does not have. If you're Macdonald, the choice is a no-brainer.

Wasn't that Tom Cables calling card ? Straight up mean mug any other assistant coach that didn't agree with him and then sock them right in the mouth-

Bellichick and Carroll on the Huskies Staff.
Some serious name recognition there. Should help recruiting.
The hiring of the younger Sunseri on Monday as a University of Washington defensive assistant coach for Jedd Fisch's staff has been a little overshadowed by all of the Belichick and Carroll hoopla surrounding the Huskies, but his family credentials are no less impressive.

Sunseri, 32, who is expected to coach the Husky safeties, is the son of Sal, who has coached at LSU, Michigan State, Louisville, Florida, Florida State, multiple stints at Alabama, with the Carolina Panthers and Oakland Raiders, and he's currently the defensive-tackles coach for Colorado and Deion Sanders.

Read an item today claiming Quinn's relationship with the Seahawks ended up working against him. JS wanted to clearly set a new direction, seemed sensitive to the mood

I've been reading more about Macdonald as of late and he is all about trying different things and being open to new ideas. Which is essentially the polar opposite of Carroll. So not only do we get a coach who is open to new ideas, but we get one who's half his age. I'm good with that.

And this: "When asked about following up Carroll's legacy during an appearance on Seattle Sports 710 Tuesday, Macdonald's emphatic response was proof.

"I'm not intimidated by that," Macdonald said of succeeding Carroll. "It's not something that I'm worried about, it's something that you want to embrace."

The future looks bright.
