Holmgren emerging as coaching candidate

[Sgt. Largent]

Mike Holmgren is still a valuable brand name. He is also a helpful adviser and consultant.. But at age 66, I doubt he would be the idea candidate to coach a rebuilding team.

I think the Holmgren's attractiveness to a team in such shambles like the Raiders would be more along the lines of a culture fix, rather than consultant or adviser.

Holmgren's GM/adviser/consultant track record is shaky at best. But as a coach hired to kick some ass and shape a team's culture into a top tier NFL franchise is very attractive to the Raiders. If he surrounds himself with amazing coaches, then I have no doubt he absolutely would work in Oakland.

But having said all this, I still think he only went down there as a courtesy to the Davis family and his buddy McKenzie.
