A trip to Starbucks as a college student changed Mike Macdonald’s life forever.
The Seattle Seahawks head coach who just won Super Bowl LX at the age of 38 was just a regular college student at the University of Georgia back in 2010 when he ran into then-Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham at a local Starbucks one fateful morning.
Macdonald had a meteoric rise through the coaching ranks, going from a volunteer college assistant to NFL head coach in just 14 years when he was named the Seahawks’ head coach in 2024.
On Sunday night, Macdonald became the third-youngest head coach in NFL history to win the Super Bowl.
Not bad for a college senior who was once just trying to figure out what to do with his life weeks before graduation.
