08:06 AM ET 01.04 | Mike Holmgren said the door on his search for a new head coach will be swung wide open. He stressed that getting this decision right is "huge," because "I don't want to do this again." Holmgren said the search would have no timetable and money would be no object. But in a mild surprise, Holmgren, 62, eliminated himself as a candidate "right now." He had hedged a little in a meeting with the players prior to addressing the media.

The next guy will be a huge upgrade over the last idiot!

wow

He's not coming out of that cozy box to the daily grind of head coaching again. Nonsense.

This would be taking the organization on his back literally.... May backfire tremendously.

I'm sure Browns fans would appreciate the T&R staff finding another picture to use going forward.

I was hoping for a Brett Favre thread.

I would concur. I was hoping that since we had rid ourselves of the blob, we would no longer be forced to encounter his mug. Apparently, someone at T&R just can't seem to let him go.

Neither did the other teams in the AFC North.

About more females suing him?

I wouldn't be surprised if Cowher ends up in Cleveland.

I would be surprised at that since Cowher would have little control on personnel.

I'm waiting for the women in Green Bay to start popping out of the woodwork.

Even the ESPN commentators were high fiving Magini getting fired. I'd bet there were more than a few chuckles coming from the New England area, too.

And in a couple of years, Minnesota.

How can you tell anything with those dumb cheeseheads on them. I dunno!

Holmgren does believe there is anybody better than him for the job. Jeesh! who could not see this coming from day one. Back to HC/GM.

Maybe I am wrong, have been before, but what coach of substance wants to be under his thumb?
