I have a hunch. Let's see what happens. I think Holmgren is brought in as GM to run football operations, ala what Parcells is doing in Miami. Just throwing it out there.

Russ is said to be after a good football mind to run football operations so could be that we get in a bidding war with the Browns.I am The Batman.Comment

Holmgren has been a failure when asked to undertake a GM roleComment

Wasn't he also the coach though? Maybe if he were just the GM he would serve the role a little better.Originally posted by kernowboyComment

Re: Prediction: Holmgren is coming in
GM AND Head Coach role. That is hard to pull of at the same time. You really need to pick one or the other. There aren't enough hours in a day to do both jobs.Originally posted by kernowboyComment

Re: Prediction: Holmgren is coming in
"Jim Brown, who is an executive advisor to the club, kind of spilled the beans at a luncheon yesterday when he told the crowd that Lerner was interviewing somebody right then for the job: "At this moment, right now Randy Lerner is meeting with one of the great football minds in this country," he said. "And if things work out, that person will come in to run the football side of the Browns." When someone asked if it was Holmgren, Brown supposedly said, 'You said it ... and I heard it.' "Comment

Re: Prediction: Holmgren is coming in
We all know Cleveland is interested. There are some issues there though. One, you have to deal with Eric Mangini. Cleveland owes something like $20 million to past GMs and coaches not on the staff. If you fire Mangini, you add to that. Mangini doesn't get along with everyone. So Holmgren will probably be encouraged to try to work with Mangini. Plus, with all of the back pay owed, that's less money to be offered to Holmgren.
On the plus side for the Bills, they have no head coach, so Holmgren can have the run of the place. Also, depending on what Dick's buyout ultimately is, he will be owed a heck of a lot less than what Cleveland owes its backpay guys. So if Ralph is serious about spending money, he probably can go toe to toe or beat Cleveland.
Also, if something really is going down today, then maybe Holmgren interviewed yesterday with Cleveland, and is in Buffalo today?Last edited by Mudflap1; 11-18-2009, 12:32 PM.Comment

Re: Prediction: Holmgren is coming in
He went to the superbowl, and should have won if not for a terrible officiating. I wouldn't call that a failure. And besides, we have had Williams, Mularkey, and Jauron as our coaches for the past decade; as well as Donahoe, Levi, and NOONE as our GM for the past decade.Originally posted by kernowboy

Re: Prediction: Holmgren is coming in
I believe that Holmgren is known to be a very, very difficult guy to work for, so it may impact assistants.
I have that from a friend who's best friend/college roomy was an assistant of his.Comment
