Holmgren is over the hill too on the game of football. His no shotgun bullshit is so yesterday, his comments about Sherman how he didn't like him at first until he had a sandwich with him was fucking stupid too. Not to mention as an evaluate of talent he's not very good as his drafts were up and down with the Seahawks and with the Browns they were awful.
He was very fortunate in Seattle that the division was terrible so he could rack up some easy division titles going 9-7.
I like Holmgren, think he is the second best coach in franchise history but unlike Softy I was actually glad Allen chose to go with Carroll instead of bringing back Holmgren for team president for 2010.
In hindsight, that move is genius. Holmgren is not a very good talent evaluator. Carroll gets late round gems in every draft. I remember Holmgren getting very few. He did bad with Cleveland too. I prefer a coach that prides themselves on defense, toughness, and taking care of the football over a quick strike passing game that is outdated. I was never a big Holmgren fan and always thought he was overrated. His teams were always kind of soft too.
Here is a comparison of Holmgren's drafts (98-04) and Carroll's (10-present). Carroll's draft shit all over Holmgren's. Fuck Holmgren and his shitty KJR segment where he talks about his favorite home cooked meals and how excited he is to see his daughter.
