Holmgren is one of the class acts of the NFL. It is good he is getting out of there. One year from now he will be back somewhere and they will be the better team for it.....

Guess who will win this one...............

Based on their performances elsewhere, it seems like Ruskell made the right choices, particularly in the case of Alexander and Stevens.
As for Holmgren, I'm not sure I'd call him a "class act" anymore. Getting a bit tired of all the excuses coming from him.

Holmgren has taken this franchise and turned them into a great team, taken them farther than any in team history. But all things need to end, its time for a new direction. Im not convinced Mora is the right choice but it is a new beginning.
I think Holmgren will end up down in SF where his career started coaching bay area HS Football. Good luck to him.

New Headline:

Holmgren, Seattle president don't always put the toilet seat down!

Ruskell needs to leave, that man is worthless! "i care more about them working hard and going to church than i do talent and ability!" thats basically the scenerio he brings to the table! maybe a little over exagerated, but still. THis year well have top 6 draft pick unless the Hawks pull in M's and win out and loose the seat! I bet you money he will take the draft pick draft a 5'9" 275 lb DT because hes a good guy and gives it his all! why draft Crabtree who will be a star, and give Hasselbeck a much needed receiver thats actually over 6'1"?? Im tired of this guy he drafted Lofa and Carlson which are awesome, but everyone else hes drafted??? worthless! midget DB's small and worthless DE's! i hate him.. in a dream world fire **** Ruskell have homlgren be the GM since thats what he wants anyways!

Take a pill and shut up. Wow what a **** fest.

Always something to complain about and as a fact most successful teams focus on character.

Not quite sure why you seem to hold him in such high regard. He built his rep in GB with a stacked team. And it was really a out of the blue performance by Desmond Howard that won that one. Couldn't repeat with same stacked team.

Goes to Seattle which is in a very weak division so they become a perennial playoff team. But even when he got to the Super Bowl in an "NFC off year" he ends up losing in one of the worst Super Bowls I can recall to a "weakish" Steelers team.

What he has been good for is giving me and a good friend a reason to start a "stroke pool". Because he's seemed about a hair away from several major ones over the years.

turned them into a great team

Your definition of great and mine do not match up.

Of course they don't always agree, hence Holmgren packing his bags in 2 weeks.

The case against Saint Mike

this just in....holgrem to coach dallas cowboys next year and retaining wade phillips as d coord and garrett as o coord......that is all

ALWAYS SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT?!?!?! how the he** can you say that?? character is important, but so is skill! you cant draft all these tiny **** people and think that they can compete with big receivers/OL men! you my friend are an idiot! Just because they have good character doesnt mean theyre good football players.. hence our DB's! You probably just got all mad because i mentioned church! and you with your bible in hand and Bush 04 sticker.

The Seahawks use to be the door mat of the AFC west, never were in contention. New Division and Conference, New ownership, new stadium and coaching. Holmgren coached them to the Superbowl and set a new standard of winning in Seattle. Once a team wins it believes it can year in and year out. They were crippled by age and injuries this year. With the right moves in the off season there is no reason why they cant be back on top of the NFC West next season.
And who's to say that Holmgren wont be the GM in the near future.

Anyone who doesn't think Holmgren has done well in his ten years in Seattle is either A- Not from Seattle, B- Not a real Seahawks fan, C- A daft tw@t. I would bet most of the anti-Holmgren people would fall under "C."
