The Seattle Seahawks are set to hire Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald as their new head coach. The deal is expected to be finalized soon, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
MacDonald’s Ravens defense allowed the fewest total points (280) and points per game (16.5) in the NFL this season. Baltimore also ranked fifth in the league in total pass yards (3,263) and pass yards per game (191.9) allowed.
MacDonald, 36, becomes the youngest head coach in the NFL, taking that title from the New England Patriots’ Jerod Mayo, who’s 37 years old.
