Holmgren gives up GM title, remains head coach

[Cntrygal]

Mike Holmgren will continue as coach of the Seattle Seahawks but relinquish his role as general manager of the team, Seahawks president Bob Whitsitt said Tuesday.

"Mike's our coach. He's going to continue to be our coach," Whitsitt said. "There's never been any doubt in our minds."

Whitsitt said Holmgren had agreed to step down as general manager of the team -- a post Holmgren insisted on when he left the Green Bay Packers to join the Seahawks four years ago.

That's good for at least a few more wins a year. I think it's too much for coaches to be GMs as well. There's just too much involved these days with free agency and the salary cap.
