holmgren is looking for a parcell's type gig.

[trapezeus]

money not withstanding, what do you think of holmgren as a possible GM and player evaluator.

so again, no comments on "he'll never come." I just want your take on what you think of his as a personel evaluator and GM.

[Michael82]

If he wants to be a Bill Parcells type guy and run our team, basically build it over again...i'd do it in a heartbeat!

[trapezeus]

he did well with seattle, but seemed stretched thin to bring it all together.

i wouldnt mind him heading our draft. but remember, this season he got out coached by jauron. so that's a huge negative.

How did he get out coached? He just didn't have a very good team at the start of the season. We were injury free.

That's why I would only bring him in to build the team. He picks the coach and a GM. He builds the team. :up:

[justasportsfan]

YOu guys have very little faith in Ralph. He'll screw up the relationship somehow.

[Mitchy moo]

Mike will be a great GM, someday.

[Patti120]

I would soil myself!

[TacklingDummy]

No thanks.

[bigbub2352]

I would take Holmgren in a second also to have his 2 cents on how to groom young trent
He knows Offense and would take no **** i think it would b a great idea better than a robot in Brandon

[DynaPaul]

I'm game.

[trapezeus]

the broadcast made it seem like holmgren was getting pressure from his wife to give up coaching, but that he is very interested in staying in a parcells gig, where it's not quite as time intensive.

You put in a lot of hours, but you come home at night. coaching requires travel and lots of the weekend missing from your family.

With all the cowher talk, i think this is actually much more interesting.

[DraftBoy]

Ive never been a big Holmgren fan talent eval wise. This guy has been ok in Seattle but he's flourished off a relatively weak division. I think he's a very good coach but Im not sold on his GM wise.

see i could totally see that being the case with the weak divison. But i do think perhaps he was stretched too thin. The GM/coach only works for so long. I hope if he's just a GM, that he picks a coach that he has good repoire with and who has a good eye for talent.

[RockStar36]

Yes please!

Guys are green are the ones Id consider to be good picks, I just hate his mid-round and later picks, they make me want to puke.

No he actually may...and it would be a great fit....hasselebeck can come with him....he like building from the lines out.....

[Night Train]

Why does Seattle stink so bad now, if Holmgren is so great ?

[Stewie]

Why does Seattle stink so bad now, if Holmgren is so great ?

lots of reasons, but I think it's worth mentioning that he was a lame duck coach for a team with injury concerns and ineffective lines. Things kind of fell apart for them.

[Mike13]

Why does Seattle stink so bad now, if Holmgren is so great ?

Mainly injuries.

I dont think Holmgren doubles as Seattle's GM.
