    Apparently he told a KJR (Seattle) radio host that he was going to hire himself to coach but his wife talked him out of it.

    I don't know how I feel about this.

        Feel how you want, you're certainly entitled to. But I really don't feel like attaching a link, or looking for one to attach. I just read it on Sprint Football Live on my phone. Of course Florio wrote about it so who knows what Holmgren was really trying to say.

          if you really crave validation go to KJR's website. Full audio there.

            Heard it on Movin' the Chains on Sirius. We're going to get everything out of Holmgren through Shurmur without Holmgren burning himself and/or stretching himself too thin

              Here is a link.

              My link

              Such a cynical group. 🙂

              And essentially Gruden said he would come back and coach the Browns for Holmgren and Holmgren said no? So glad we have shurmur instead of Gruden.

                Wow, Gruden could of been had?

                But to hell with Gruden, as much as I wanted him to coach our Browns, it's the Shurmur era now and he should gain our full support.

                  I think if Holmgren didn't bring in Gruden then there had to have been a good reason, especially when it's Gruden saying Ya I'd come coach for you. Can't wait to see this whole organization on the same page when the 2011 season starts, and yes there will be a season.

                    Here is the interview. MH talking to an old friend in Seattle should demonstrate his honesty & tactful approach to interviews. If you didn't respect the man before, you should now. It also shows how inaccurate statements can be without "backup"....."nearly hired himself"??...I don't think so. Listen closely to the actual interview......

                        now that's funny!! you have a better chance of seeing pigs fly than seeing that fat fxxk thin.

                        can't stop this blowhard from talkin to anyone, huh? give him a megaphone and a nickel and he'd be uptown selling your mom down the river before lunch. honorable? tell that to favre after getting screamed at and spit on from him every sunday in front of millions of people. until he brings a championship to cleveland he's just like any other bobble head we've had before him.

                                thanks for posting this and setting the record straight. it's amazing how some people can just make stuff up or take things out of context.
