They haven't even requested to interview him yet...Has this guy moved up to #1 on anyone's list yet?

If we don't, Im gonna be livid. This guy actually has answers to modern NFL offenses.They haven't even requested to interview him yet...
With Quinn and SlowikLooks like the job is his at this point
Providing we are his first choice and he ours. Lots of other teams looking for a coach.Looks like the job is his at this point
If I recall correctly, they can't interview him until the Ravens are eliminated. It had to do with some random rule that Seattle missed the cutoff date on.They haven't even requested to interview him yet...
No, they can interview him currently. You just can't officially hire a guy.If I recall correctly, they can't interview him until the Ravens are eliminated. It had to do with some random rule that Seattle missed the cutoff date on.
No. If you don't schedule an interview before the end of WC weekend, you can't interview him until after the Ravens are eliminated. The rule is pretty explicit.No, they can interview him currently. You just can't officially hire a guy.
Jesus...What kind of loophole is this!???No. If you don't schedule an interview before the end of WC weekend, you can't interview him until after the Ravens are eliminated. The rule is pretty explicit.
"If the employer team has a bye in the wild-card round, virtual interviews may begin three days after Week 18 games (Jan. 9 or 10, whichever is applicable) and must happen before the end of wild-card games."
"Teams cannot hold initial interviews with candidates employed by teams participating in the AFC and NFC championship games until the end of the employer team’s season."
In other words, if you didn't schedule your initial interview before the 15th, you can't interview Mccdonald until the Ravens are eliminated.
I'm not worried about it. The Seahawks can't schedule an interview, but I don't think that means they can't let his agent know they're interested.Jesus...What kind of loophole is this!???
Ridiculous.
It’s not like former Baltimore DC’s have a stellar record as HC. They’ve had four in the last 20 years or so with mediocre results. It’s just failed to translate for the most part. Pagano had some early success because of Andrew Luck but fielded poor defenses.Staton pointed it out to be fair but the concern with Macdonald is how is he going to put a staff together? He’s only ever worked for the Harbaughs. Once Jim takes a job he’s probably going to take many of the guys Macdonald wants. Baltimore can/will promote guys in order to keep them in Baltimore. I think it’s possible he’s a year away from leaving Baltimore and may end up staying or if he leaves the staff may could potentially be a bad one. Maybe he lets Schneider with his connections build one but who knows if they mesh?
I saw Staton's video too and he made some good points about maybe pumping the brakes on MacDonald. Let's face it, you can find pros and cons with all these guys. John's got a tough decision to make, but I trust he'll make a good one.Staton pointed it out to be fair but the concern with Macdonald is how is he going to put a staff together?

Fully agree. If it is Macdonald I’ll be excited as I trust John will make sure it’s all in placeI saw Staton's video too and he made some good points about maybe pumping the brakes on MacDonald.

Word for word….this. No DQ please.And he did it without an elite Edge guy which makes his job much tougher. He’s the only defensive guy I’d feel good about this cycle. The worry is I’m not sure if he can put together a good staff. His connections are a little limited and Harbaugh if he leaves Michigan is going to take a lot of the people he probably wants.
Staton? Yeah, very little to nothing he says matters.Staton pointed it out to be fair but the concern with Macdonald is how is he going to put a staff together?

I can agree with you on that, however I think the need for worry shouldn't be as high since JS will be hiring the coaching staff and I feel like he has a lot of connections that he'd reach out to that would compliment MM's coaching style and scheme.And he did it without an elite Edge guy which makes his job much tougher.
