Mike Holmgren
Former NFL head coach Mike Holmgren seems more and more likely to take the G.M. position with the Seattle Seahawks.
In an interview with KJR radio on Friday Holmgren said that he would “absolutely” be interested in speaking with the team about a possible return.
Former Seahawks G.M. Tim Ruskell resigned on Thursday upon learning his contract wouldn’t be renewed at the end of the season.
Holmgren opened up about how he would envision his role with the organization during the radio interview.
“I don’t want it to be a ceremonial type thing,” he said. “I don’t want to be there with a coat and tie, heaven forbid, and then go over and sit at Barnes & Noble and read books all afternoon… I want to be very active in the organization. Now to what level? That’s an interesting question…
“It kind of boils down to how the owner and how the organization wants to set it up. And that’s what I’m going to be listening to. I don’t have to make every decision in the world but I absolutely have a vision and have an idea on how an organization should be built, and I wouldn’t have much fun doing it any other way. I think I would have to be assured that I would have a fair amount of input in the major decisions.”
