According to Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker in his ranking of the 10 best head coaches in the league entering the 2026 season, Macdonald was ranked No. 4 overall among his peers.
“Macdonald is rightfully hailed as a defensive wizard, and his team’s play reflects that,” Locker said. “Over the last two years, the Seahawks are fifth in EPA per play and have surrendered the second-fewest explosive gains. Macdonald has played with fair amounts of established talent, but he’s also maximized players like Nick Emmanwori, Ernest Jones and Boye Mafe.”
Macdonald furthered the Seahawks’ winning culture last season. His defense played at a brilliant level, while the offense was among the best in the league under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Macdonald found ways to lead Seattle to big wins throughout the year, and tore through the playoffs en route to winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season.
The Seahawks have a strong unit capable of winning a second straight Super Bowl in 2026. Macdonald will have the opportunity to further his status as one of the best coaches in the NFL next season.
