Do you guys think HolmMogren is coming back? Mora interviewed at Washington and then said "no" he was staying
in Seattle. I gotta think that means he thinks he is going to be our new head coach. The guys on 950am sports
radio are praying Holmgren stays. They act like he is God... or at least his cousin or something. I don't know much
about this Mora. Other than his defense doesn't play well on the road. Is Holmgren really that good? Or did a basic
change of philosophy from the owner make the difference those years ago. I personally don't want a coach that is
even considering retirement. If retirement is so appealing, then get on with it. Let someone else have the job.
But... on the other hand... The Devil you know....

How can you have a Top 25 list without Chuck Noll on it?

Guess I just can't read. The sad thing is I looked twice for Chuck's name. I blame it on the public school system. conf:

By far the best coach is BILL WALSH! He set the stage for modern football. More coaches are in this league because of him. Even your beloved Holmbgren. And yes Chuck Knoll should be there as well!

I can think of only two right now in the league that is tied to Walsh, Mike Holmgren and Mike Shanahan. Sam Wyche is gone, George Seifert is gone too. There is also Jim Fassel, Paul Hackett and Denny Green. Holmgren has contributed Andy Reid, John Gruden, and Mariucci was on his staff in GB, also Dick Juaron, Ray Rhodes and Marty Mornhenwig. That is a pretty good list there for both and I would have to call it about even.

No, there are many assistants as well tied to Walsh. When he died early this year the article in Sports illistrated listed a complete list and it was unreal! They said he had the most influence EVER on the game as its played now.

Those you listed are mostly from Walsh camp first. If you think Holmgren is as good a coach as Walsh who won Rosebowls and 4 Superbowls you must be smokin ez eggs

Morhenwig was on Walshs niner staff as well as Ray Rhodes and Gruden.

I'm not trying to say that Holmgren is better than Walsh but both men have influenced the NFL coaching ranks a great deal. I got this from Wikipedia:

Yep thats the graph! He is king! Well one of the great ones anyway. Also, I am not saying Mikes not a stud. He is a true hall of fame coach. I just think his time is over here. Nothing personal, just time to be a VP somewhere. Probably be a great one at that!

BTW, Walsh never won a Rose Bowl.

In 1977, Walsh was hired as the head coach at Stanford where he stayed for two seasons. His two Stanford teams went 9-3 in 1977 with a win in the Sun Bowl, and 8-4 in 1978 with a win in the Bluebonnet Bowl; his notable players at Stanford included quarterbacks Guy Benjamin and Steve Dils, wide receivers James Lofton and Ken Margerum, and running back Darrin Nelson. Walsh was the Pac-8 Coach of the Year in 1977.

I'm footballed out and very tired after defending Holmgren from you and trying to explain to Dmack why the Bedard trade makes good sense. Sometimes its like beating my head against the wall.

You going to Rufus in Feb. for the big get together? How is your wife doing?

Ah come on, you know you missed my weekly blather and banter here clown:
You do of course remember most is just in stick :mrgreen:

I hope to go at least one day to fish with you guys. My wife is doing better but still has some hurdles. Thats why I dissapear here from time to time.

Thanks for asking by the way. Your good people.

Well, guess I stirred it up enough tonight. Time to crash.
Peace

Oh and by the way, your slipping some. You missed that I claimed walsh won 4 super bowls. He only won 3. Seifert that loser won the other 2.

Well, anyone could have won the last 3 super bowls. All Walsh and Seifert had to do was roll out the balls and watch Montana/Young and Rice go to work. Kind of like Phil Jackson with Michael Jordan.

I was too lazy to comment on the super bowl info, I thought Walsh had won only 3 but I wasn't sure and didn't feel like checking it out. I've been working on an appraisal of a river front property in Auburn on the Green and it has been kicking my butt. I'm finally done and now its time to shut it down for the evening.

What is so freaking hard about saying "I love being the Seahawks coach and look forward
to the final year of my contract and would certainly entertain offers for an extension if
the Management of the Seahawks still wants me at that time." ?????

Seriously! It's like the guy wants us to bow down with our outstretched arms waving,
begging him to come back. I don't believe this "soul searching" BS. Are we supposed to
believe that Holmie never has time to discuss his future with his wife during the regular
season? I am sick of this "well on the one hand..." and "but on the other hand...." You either
want to be the coach or not. I am out on the a$$ kissing. I don't like Holmie's conservative,
predictible, play calling and would prefer a hungrier, younger, coach. ESPECIALLY if Holmie
has any doubts whatsoever if he wants to continue.

Everybody likes to give Ice a bad time. He deserves a lot of it because he like to incite the
bad time, but he is right about some things. All good things come to an end. Shaun A. for
example. The offensive line for another. If Homgren is to stay for another year it is unlikely
the roster will be pointed to the future past 2008. That's just human nature. Is that what
we really want?

I really don't see the big deal in taking a week to decide what you want to do and as for the coaching criticism, that is going on in every NFL city right now besides two. In NE and NY they are pretty happy with their coaches today. My wife's cousin who is a die hard GB fan sounds just like you guys when he is talking about McCarthy. As for some peoples constant beating of the drum for a young, hungry coach to take us to the Super Bowl, would someone please tell me who the last young, hungry coach was that was able to take a team to the super bowl? It just doesn't happen.

As for "pointing the roster in the right direction past 2008" what are you suggesting?
