Mike Macdonald on ownership change: "We're entering a new chapter in our organization's history"

Published July 25, 2026 10:36 PM The Seahawks opened training camp on Saturday, only two weeks after the organization announced that the team would be sold to a group led by Vinod Khosla, pending league approval. Coach Mike Macdonald addressed the looming change in his first press conference of training camp.“We haven’t had much interaction yet, and everything is about the same as it’s been,” Macdonald told reporters. “Nothing’s changed on our front, nor will it for the foreseeable future. So that’s how we’re approaching everything. We had great visits with all the folks that were here. The best way to describe my mentality is that I’m excited to get going.“We’re thankful for Jody [Allen] and the things that her and the rest of the ownership group did, especially since I’ve been here, it’s been fantastic and hopefully the rest of the 12s feel the same way as they should. Now we’re entering a new chapter in our organization’s history. That’s a cause for excitement as well.”Macdonald said he had a brief meeting with the new owners. “You can always talk on the phone and do Zooms, but being in person is a different experience, which I definitely appreciated,” Macdonald said.With the Khosla group ready to pay a record $9.612 billion for the Seahawks, it will be theirs to run as they see fit. They should see fit to let the organization run at it has.It’s clearly not broken; nothing needs to be fixed.
