I've always looked Holmgren as the Al Gore of NFL coaches. He carried this smug, smarmy arrogant attitude, "I invented the Internet!" "Well I invented the West Coast offense!", and the arrogance was unearned. One Superbowl championship a decade ago, two losses since and a bunch of mediocre seasons in between. I believe the only coach to lose to two wildcard teams in the Superbowl (although Denver was a great team in 97, merely sputtered late). I've never liked Holmgren and I was glad that the Seahawks lost, and I find this embarassing officiating recount "hanging yellow flag" whine-fest hilarious.
The NFC stunk. The NFC West was composed of a bunch of teams that wouldn't win the Big 12 North. Seattle's record was inflated by wins over embarrassingly bad teams, and they would have lost to San Diego or Cincinatti in the Superbowl.
Come on, admit it - you're just p.o.'ed Oklahoma can't beat Texas anymore and are taking it out on Mike. BTW, he was one of the offensive co-ordinators under Walsh at S.F.
2 errors !!
#1.....The Big 12 North will probably put about 3 players into the NFL next year and none of them will even start. How could an NFL team NOT win the big 12 North EVERY YEAR ?? (plane crash?)
#2.....San Diego did not even make the playoffs. How could they make it to the Super Bowl ?
Just courious
The seahawks lost to the 49ers. How bad is that? They lost to a team that only won 5 games all season and will be lucky to have a winning season in the next decade!!
