Holmgren emerging as coaching candidate
- Thread starter dontbelikethat
- Start date
Holmy in Raider land would be awesome. Dude still has the passion and could pull that team out of the muck they are in. Besides, who wouldn't want to see him compete for the bay area sports fans dollar with the niners. I would guess niner fans who look at the raiders much differently if Holmy was at the helm?

I doubt it's in the Bay Area, NFL said it may move two teams to L.A., I am betting Rams are one, Raiders the other, Chargers are in the conversation but they would have to pay a relocation fee to go there, Chargers I doubt do that. I could see a shared field like Jets and Giants, or maybe two fields, Rams owner already has the land for theirs, League may help with the other. There are three places or may be more that they have set as sites.
Holmgren with a new Stadium, Facilities, practice fields, etc could be lured in those situations.

Would love to see him on the sidelines again, but Oakland Raiders? That franchise is doomed to be bad for eternity.

If Harbaugh leaves, I bet Mike would slide in well there.

Beat me to it, Holmy has ties to the niner franchise so it wouldnt surprise me one bit. Don't think Kraepperchoke would be there long if Holmy's the coach. Mike would certainly bring class to that currently classless franchise.Hawk_Nation":3e14fg7p said:

I just wonder if he will want the GM/Coach role.. Should be interesting.

Just read another article saying 49ers were offered two 3rd rounders from Cleveland but Harbaughs wife didn't want to leave the Bay area, it also says that he would be open to return to the Raiders where he started his coaching career. So Harbaugh Raiders Holmgren 49ers, maybe, Raiders may pay Holmgren or Harbaugh, but will the 49ers pay Holmgren after not paying Harbaugh.

I think he would want the ability to bless things but not be an everyday GM, he likes to coach and it was the business end of things that was his Gremlin.

I hope he coaches...GM nope...after all didn't he basically trade away Julio Jones one year and then draft Wheeden the next year after...moves like that will certainly kill a franchise...

Holmgren said he did visit, but that the job was not offered to him. So my guess is this was merely exploratory on both sides to gauge interest and demands on what Mike would want if he were to take the job.
As much as I love Holmgren and what he meant to us, from listening to him the past couple of years on KJR it seems like the game's passed him by a little.
Being out of coaching in an industry like the NFL for 4-5 years is an ETERNITY, not so sure he'd do well, especially in clusterf$#@ situation like Oakland where it'd take forever to turn that franchise around. If that's even possible.

Sounds like he was consulting and giving some advice to Reggie McKenzie.

Why would that matter? Unless Harbaugh has a say in where he wants to get traded to. link?

Coach's are not players, they are not represented, if Harbaugh doesn't want to go because his wife wants to stay in the Bay area then the benefit of trading him are gone, then they are then cutting ties and having to pay him. His contract is with the 49ers, he would have to agree to go.

Holmes built the Seahawks team that made it to the Super Bowl.chris98251":1m681eyh said:

He built the offense, bought the defense mostly, The Super Bowl year was Ruskells in charge year.
We were paying High priced FA's to fill in where our draft was missing on defense and after Rhodes left Ruskell started doing te picking. Tatupu was a Ruskell pick but scouted by Rhodes. That build of contracts was what was heading us to an older less talented roster.

Couple things....
1) Niners may have been OFFERED 2 3rd round picks but that doesn't mean that was enough to get the deal done. I still think a lot of that rumor came from peeps since fired in Cleveland.
2) If it IS true that Harbaugh will be traded...I don't see Holmgren coming to SF. He would probably want to be the GM as well and Baalke isn't leaving any time soon.
