We're always up for a juicy rumor involving a reduction and/or an elimination of Mike Holmgren's authority in Seattle. However, we're informed that the latest potential Holmgren replacement rumor that's making the rounds in some NFL circles has absolutely no merit.
With University of Washington coach Rick Neuheisel soon to be out, there's scattered speculation that he could replace Holmgren as Seahawks coach, if the 'Hawks don't take it to the next level in 2003. Our sources tell us, however, that Neuheisel never would be seriously considered for the gig, if it for some reason comes open.
Word is that Neuheisel is fishing for anything he can get at this point, but that Neuheisel has zero respect among NFL and NCAA decision-makers.
Neuheisel's only shot would be to latch on as a position coach in the NFL, and to work his way up. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer recently reported, however, Neuheisel presently lacks the contacts or the reputation to nail down such a position.
Neuheisel didn't help himself with his interview-that-didn't-happen in San Fran earlier this year. Per the P-I, the 'Niners knew after only five minutes that Neuheisel doesn't understand the NFL game.
