Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald’s Weather Prediction for NFC Championship May Need Updated
Ahead of the NFC Championship, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is going viral after an old speech resurfaced. The Seahawks released footage of Macdonald’s first speech to the team in 2024.
Macdonald predicted Seattle would reach the NFC Championship. The Seahawks coach also offered a bit of a weather forecast predicting, “it’s 30-something degrees… wet, it’s windy.” It does not appear that the Seattle weather will quite live up to Macdonald’s prediction.
“It’s 30-something degrees, all right, it’s wet, it’s windy,” Macdonald predicted back in 2024. “All right, it’s (expletive) for them, okay, but it’s just right for us. We’re loose. We’re focused. We’re confident. We just spent the last nine months stacking every opportunity that we had to put us in that position,” Macdonald added.
“The team across from us in the other locker room, okay, they’ve seen the tape. They know what they’re in for. Eleven guys playing as one every snap. They know that we’re like that.”
