You are joking, right? You consider Holmgren the best coach still? Um, ok....
Yeah, when Pete has won 4 straight NFC West Titles and brought us a Superbowl trip, maybe then we can talk about him being the best coach ever. Until then, Mike is still the man.
4 Straight division tiles
Holmgren's teams played in a very weak division. Carroll's teams play in a tough division (except year one)
Both coaches went to the playoffs year one, It wasn't till year five when Holmgren returned the Hawks to the playoffs. It only took Carroll to year 3 to return to the playoffs
It was not until year seven for Holmgren's team to win a playoff game. Carroll did that in year one while winning his second in year three
In ten years Holmgren never won a playoff game on the road with the Hawks. Pete has already done that in year 3
In ten years Holmgren never had a team finish in the top ten total defense (yards). Pete has now done it in the last two years
Holmgren took over a much more talented Seahawk team then Carroll took over. Holmgren took over a team with Cortez Kennedy, Walter Jones, Shawn Springs, Chad Brown, Joey Galloway to name a few.
