That's what John Czarnecki is suggesting. Signed through the '08 season, Czar says it's possible
Holmgren doesn't return to the Seahawks after the year, and that he could be replaced by former Falcons head coach,
Jim Mora.
One theory is that if he wins another Super Bowl, he'll walk off into the sunset, his coaching life fulfilled. Another thought is that he's signed through 2008 and maybe he doesn't want to enter next season as a lame duck coach. The final part is that former Falcons head coach Jim Mora, now coaching the Seattle secondary, has the look of a successor-in-waiting, biding his time until owner Paul Allen or General Manager Tim Ruskell make a decision on Holmgren.
"Right now I'm thinking I want to come back (next season), but I'm never sure if they want me back," Holmgren said.
...
It has been like this for the last few years as Holmgren lost his GM clout while no one really seemed to listen to his recommendations, be it about on-field talent or who really should be running this franchise. He lost all power and ultimate control, one of the big reasons he fled Green Bay for the Northwest in the first place.
If I'm going to put any stock into this rumor, it would be based on Holmgren's lack of control within the organization. Also, if he were to leave, it wouldn't be a bad time, considering the Seahawks didn't have a first round pick in the most recent draft as a result of the
Deion Branch trade. Regardless, should Holmgren walk, he would be highly coveted by several NFL teams.
