Seahawks Coach Macdonald's Offseason Plan

0:00On March 30th, Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald just rewashed their Super Bowl 60 win from last season, but he treated it like any regular game. Tape. His squad went 14 and 3 in the regular year, then crushed the 49ers, Rams, and Patriots in the playoffs for the franchise's second, Ring Ever. Now at the NFL Annual Meetings in Phoenix, he's keeping the vibe grounded. No celebrating too hard, just straight focus on building for 20. 26. That Super Bowl run means a shorter off season, so McDonald's tweaking the workout program to give players real rest. Younger guys, those who barely played, and injury recoveries report early in April for hands-on work. Veterans join remotely for the first two weeks, then everyone hits Phase 2 in person to ramp up. Fans and players are buzzing with pride over the title, but McDonald's stressing this is a fresh squad with new pieces to integrate. The impact hits home. They're not coasting on last year's glory.

1:01It's about sharpening every process from Phase 1 onward to chase that next level. Roster stays mostly intact, with just five free agents gone, like running back Kenneth Walker III, and safety. Kobe Bryant only two were Super Bowl. Starters. General manager John Schneider topped running it back earlier, but McDonald's careful with words, avoiding defend mode or repeat talk. They're all in on retaining the core for continuity, loving the unit they built, while evolving the ground game and daily grind. Seahawks are reloading smart, eyes locked on repeating the magic without the pressure.
