"The New England Patriots struck paydirt when owner Robert Kraft made a great decision to hire Vrabel, who's as good as it gets among NFL coaches and should be voted the NFL's Coach of the Year for the second time in 2025. No coach did more with less this year than Vrabel has. Yet, Macdonald has also done a great job with the Seahawks. The 38-year-old is in his second season with Seattle and has amassed a regular-season record of 24-10,"
"Macdonald was born in Boston and has an appreciation for Patriot Nation. It's gratifying to see an open expression of respect rather than the sour grapes we've seen from players like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. "I have a ton of respect for New England fans... Shoot I was one of them." Seahawks HC Mike MacDonald talks about facing the team he grew up as a fan of in Super Bowl LX."
The clock is winding down to Super Bowl LX, with the New England Patriots making their first appearance in seven years. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel brings Super Bowl experience while quarterback Drake Maye is making his first appearance. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, a Boston native and former Patriots fan, expressed respect for New England fans. Vrabel earned praise for accomplishing a lot with limited resources and is a Coach of the Year candidate. Macdonald led Seattle to a 24-10 regular-season record in his second year, and ESPN analysts favored the Seahawks to prevail.
