The Seahawks hired Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald as their next head coach. In replacing 72-year-old Pete Carroll with 36-year-old Macdonald, the Seahawks are going from the NFL’s oldest head coach to its youngest. Macdonald is receiving a six-year contract, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
