Disgruntled Richard Sherman Criticizes New Seahawks Coach Mike Macdonald for Removing Murals Showcasing Previous Victories

This month, the Seattle Seahawks made a controversial decision to remove several murals commemorating the team’s past victories. The news of the removal came to light during the new head coach Mike Macdonald’s first press conference, where reporters noticed the absence of many famous Seahawks murals.

Former Seahawks legend Richard Sherman expressed his frustration on social media, replying to a tweet by former teammate Kam Chancellor, who also opposed the decision. The decision to remove the murals was made by Macdonald, which sparked criticism from Sherman and other Seahawks fans.

Yea I’m sure every great franchise is removing its legendary players pictures from their building because they can’t ever live up to that. Makes sense. Sure the Ravens don’t have pictures of Ray Lewis and that great defense.  I’m sure Pittsburg doesn’t have pictures of all the great moments. I’m sure Dallas, SF,  NE all remove pictures of the history of their Franchise because of a new coach. Makes sense. Richard Sherman on X

Richard Sherman, the Super Bowl champion, stood firm in his defense of the Seattle Seahawks’ legacy, despite facing criticism from some fans.

When a fan suggested that every coach, including Carroll, had made similar decisions, Sherman responded with a tweet of his own, expressing his frustration and highlighting the importance of the team’s past triumphs.

Pete Hung a SB banner no other coach in the franchise history has done that. But it’s on brand. Richard Sherman on X

Richard Sherman, a five-time Pro Bowler, defended his frustration, stating that it was about a franchise that he helped win their only Super Bowl trophy. Macdonald’s decision to remove the murals was to create his own legacy with the Seahawks, but it contradicted the fact that those slogans and images were from the tenure of former head coach Pete Carroll.
Sherman’s anger towards the new head coach was due to Carroll, who took a chance on him coming out of college. One of the images removed was of Sherman’s iconic play from the game against the San Francisco 49ers, where he tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass, leading the team to the Super Bowl.
