07:09 AM ET 12.16 | Like player, like former coach. This season was supposed to be the last in Seattle and the last in the coaching career of Mike Holmgren of the Seahawks, who led the Green Bay Packers from 1992-'98 and into two Super Bowls. But last week Holmgren told reporters he was reconsidering his decision to leave coaching, even though it won't be in Seattle, which has planned to replace Holmgren with Jim Mora Jr. Holmgren said he might decide not to retire. He'll make up his mind after taking some time off after the season concludes. Gee, that circumstance sounds vaguely familiar. On Sunday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen speculated that Holmgren could wind up coaching - get this - the Dallas Cowboys. "(Holmgren) conceded he was having second thoughts about stepping aside from coaching," Mortensen said on "Sunday NFL Countdown," ESPN's pregame show. "He said, like Brett Favre, the Seahawks' organization has moved on. Holmgren's commitment to his wife, Kathy, is that he would take some time off after the season. Will that be a couple of weeks instead of a year as planned? "What if Jerry Jones comes a calling? In fact, Seahawks sources agree that one destination for Holmgren that should not be ignored is Dallas, because he and Jones have developed a very close relationship over the years. The pairing would not be anywhere as odd as, say, Bill Parcells and Jones."

Mike Holmgren vs Andy Reid twice a year... interesting.
I guess the question is which Mike Holmgren would Dallas get? The one who built up Green Bay and Seattle or the one that drove the Seahawks into a 3-11 hole.

Someday Jerry will be the next Al Davis. Matter of time until his constant involvement goes awry..

I'm a die hard Giants fan, but a Broncos supporter when the two aren't playing. I don't follow the Broncos religiously, but I love their fans, stadium, and history. What's up with them this year? I'm a huge Cutler fan - too bad he can't stop the run. The fact that they are 8-6 with the injuries they have had in the backfield is amazing to me.

Please explain your comments? When has any player come out an disrespected the cowboys staff? Also why do you call pro players idiots? Are you mad they have a talent that pays them millions and you don't?
Just wondering...

Everyone remember the source ESPN! Like a ton of stories ESPN is about making the news, not reporting it. Although anything is possible, not sure I believe this story. Until you hear it from Holmgren or Jones, take it with a grain of salt.

Quiet day today. Anyone know what needs to happen for the Cowboys AND Eagles to both make the playoffs? My calculations look too simple. TB loss, Atl loss, Philly wins out, and 1 Dallas loss.

Like every other coach Jones hires, this would fall apart after two years.
