Raiders Eye Mike Holmgren For Front Office

The Browns Board
22 17 1.4k

  • per ESPN,

    The Oakland Raiders have been talking to former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren about a leadership position within the organization, according to two sources.

    Holmgren would be a natural candidate because of his relationship with Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie. Both worked for the Packers.

    For several months, the Raiders have been looking at potential new leaders for the team. They have been talking to Ray Anderson, the NFL's senior vice president of football operations.

    According to a source, Holmgren has visited the Raiders to talk about the position. Currently, he is on vacation in Europe.

    There is no timetable for the Raiders to find a top front office executive.

    Part of the job would be to lead the quest for a new stadium. Holmgren ran the Cleveland Browns until an ownership change led to his release from the team at the end of the season.

  • Maybe the Raiders can get him to show up for work!

    Equally possible is that he may want to eventually angle for the HC job.

    first thought that popped into my mind as well

  • So that fat ass fuck can sit and collect more money for doing absolutely nothing for the team.

    Glad to see Holms is vacationing in Europe on the $40 million he took from us ... he deserves the break ... all those meetings he was late for or didn't show up for had to be stressful on the guy. And then, there was that one day where the donut guy was late. Stay in the best hotels, Big Guy ... you deserve it.

  • What is it with the Raiders? It's like they find out whats the dumbest thing to do then go and do it!!!

    I thought the death of Al Davis might have helped them back to being normal but no, they want Holgrem for some crazy reason. Being a Brown can be frustrating but the Raiders are a joke.

  • Bad decision but who cares? It's Oakland. Them being terrible is good for 31 other teams.

    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

  • No surprises. This is the same organization that traded high drafts picks for a washed up overrated Carson Palmer.

    We can definitively say and take comfort in that "at least we aren't Raiders fans."

    we went on vacation when i was 12 years old. just a term.

    ok so he's traveling abroad. and spending boat loads of the browns money on cheese and wine.

  • I hear they are worried that he might eat Liechtenstein.

  • Sad to say but I think that Holmgren in the front office might actually be an upgrade for the Raiders. LOL Of course there have got to be many other better options out there.

    Holmgren's only success in life was as a coach.

    He was a colossal failure as an office guy.

    He didn't make many mistakes, but the errors he did make were quite epic.

    1. Jake Delhomme:

    Holomgren has an odd attraction to Cajun QB's who lead the NFL in interceptions.

    2. Eric Mangini:

    OK Eric, I'm giving you Jake Delhomme as yur starter and if you can't win with him, yur fired.

    3. Colt McCoy:

    He just needs to be properly developed.

    4. Pat Shurmer:

    He's the perfect guy to develop Colt McCoy!

    Consider the Ravens, They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable are you to God than the Ravens? Book of Luke, Chapter 12, Verse 24.
