    just what has holmgren done....exactly?

    won a superbowl as a coach, with ron wolf as his GM...whom i might add, brought in farve and white.

    took a huge position with the seahawks as Exec. VP, GM and head coach. how long did that gig last? 4 years....he was fired as GM after 4 years. a few years later, after he was stictly the coach, he took them to the superbowl in '05.

    now he's here in a role he failed at once. that gives me that warm and fuzzy...ya know? great coach, failure as a leader.

    I am not proclaiming Holmgren as our savior. My point is he actually has football knowledge. He was responsible for bringing in Heckert and it has resulted in 2 pretty good drafts. The jury is still out on Shurmur but I don't see how you can write off Holmgren for what he has done here so far.

    I hear you and you're right about what Holmgren has done well. But I'll also say that I am disappointed that he has not done more. That's a lot of money for a guy that hired someone to make quality draft picks and a few good trades. I expected him to be much more of a seasoned leader and strategist. I could be wrong looking at it from way out here, but "his" team is lacking in many areas that I think he could have done more to improve it. Furthermore, he implemented a whole new system on offence that doesn't use our strengths as well as last year and was brought in during a strike shortened season.

    Perhaps I'm being too harsh. I don't know.
