Winning the Super Bowl comes with a lot of rewards, but that ultimate prize also means a short offseason for the teams lucky enough to reach the pinnacle of their sport.
For Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald, there was almost no time to bask in the glory of becoming the third-youngest Super Bowl winning head coach in NFL history, because he was trying to hire a new offensive coordinator within days of returning from San Jose with the Lombardi Trophy.
The Seahawks made official the hiring of offensive coordinator Brian Fleury last week, but still have a few hires and titles to finalize in the near future, and Macdonald said he expects that to happen soon.
"No new news, but we're getting close, so we'll put something out pretty soon on finalized titles and roles and all that type of stuff," Macdonald told reporters off the podium following his combine press conference Wednesday.
With Klint Kubiak leaving to become the head coach of the Raiders, the Seahawks not only lost their 2025 offensive coordinator, but also their quarterbacks coach, Andrew Janocko, who is now Las Vegas' offensive coordinator, and former run game coordinator/senior offensive advisor Rick Dennison, who is the Raiders' new offensive line coach.
And while, again, some things are still being finalized, Macdonald said he does not anticipate any more departures from his coaching staff.
As for incoming coaches, Macdonald spoke during his press conference about two expected hires with whom he previously worked with in Baltimore, Thomas Hammock, who was most recently the head coach at Northern Illinois for seven seasons after five seasons as the Ravens' running backs coach, and Daniel Stern, who spent the past 10 seasons with the Ravens, most recently as the director of football strategy and assistant quarterbacks coach.
On Hammock, Macdonald said, "Thomas and I, really our first year in the NFL was the same year back in 2014, and it's just very clear to me this guy is a heck of a football coach, how he handles his business, how he thinks about the game. He was a guy that I would always be knocking on his door about, how do you attack certain protections, kind of giving me some of the tricks of the trade, so I've always had respect for him with his football intelligence, but also how he led his position group. Then his work at Northern Illinois speaks for itself, some of the games they've won, they've won championships. The opportunity for us to add another head coach to our staff, it was like, 'Come on man, we love you, we need you, we've got a great role for you.' I'm really excited for what he brings to the table. He's a great football coach, great person, good friend."
And on Stern, Macdonald said, "Daniel and I have had a relationship for a long time. Daniel is a chasing edges guy, he's always in stuff, I think he thinks four-dimensionally about the whole program. He has really focused his talents on offense, so I'm excited for what he's going to bring to the table for our offensive staff. Great person, I think he fits the identity of the team, and he's going to be a fun guy to have around in the building as well. I think our players are going to love him."
As for other updates from Macdonald:
Updates on Zach Charbonnet and Tory Horton surgeries.
The Seahawks lost running back Zach Charbonnet to a knee injury suffered in a divisional round win over the 49ers, and Charbonnet recently shared on social media that he had surgery to repair the injury.
Asked about a timeline, Macdonald said he didn't have one, but remains positive about Charbonnet making a fast recovery.
"The short answer is no," Macdonald said of a timeline. "The funkier answer is that it's more optimistic than it was initially, so that's exciting. Like being able to come back at an earlier time, it's hard to put a timetable on those things. If you're betting on anybody, you're going to bet on Zach. So we'll go from there. He's not going to do anything in the spring."
As for the timing of the surgery, which came more than a month after the injury, Macdonald said. "They had to let it calm down."
As for rookie receiver Tory Horton, who missed the second half of the season with a shin injury, he too had surgery so will not be able to take part in at least the early part of offseason workouts, Macdonald said.
"He got fixed up too, so we're just working through it," Macdonald said. "He's not going to do anything this spring, that's all I know right now."
No indication of veteran players mulling retirement.
Any time a player's career stretches a decade or longer in the NFL, questions about retirement can come into play, and that's especially true after that player wins a Super Bowl, but as of now at least, Macdonald has heard no such talk from his veteran players.
Asked about Jarran Reed in particular, and if the veteran defensive tackle will be back, Macdonald said, "I think so. For right now, everybody hasn't told us that they're not coming back, let's put it that way. Those things can change, but he hasn't indicated otherwise."
Macdonald had a similar answer when asked about outside linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence: "He's one of those guys. Any time you're entering double-digit years, it's one of those things you have to factor in. He hasn't indicated anything to us that he's not coming back."
Why Mike Macdonald is "a psycho."
While plenty of Seahawks fans have relived the Super Bowl through multiple rewatches, the head coach of that dominant effort has yet to rewatch the game. Normally, film study is a must to get ready for the next game, but with no games left, Macdonald has taken his time. He wants to rewatch it, and watch the TV broadcast, complete with commercials, at some point, but hasn't done so yet.
Asked why, Macdonald joked, "I'm a psycho. It's a weird sensation. You've got to let it cool down, I guess."
While Macdonald plans to watch the game eventually, he acknowledged it will still be a bit since this trip to the combine is being followed by a well-earned vacation to Hawaii.
Take a look at some of the best photos from the 2025 season in which the Seahawks won their second World Championship in franchise history.
