Holmgren to the 49ers????

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8708414/Holmgren-won't-close-door-on-49ers-rumors

 

"RENTON, Wash. (AP) - So much for Mike Holmgren's quiet motorcycle ride into that self-described "sabbatical" next year.

The exiting coach of the skidding Seattle Seahawks had a chance on Wednesday to slam the door on rumors he is a prime candidate to take over his hometown San Francisco 49ers in 2009.

Instead, he left it partially open."

But seriously, what do people think about this? I mean, I knew he wasn't going to retire for good, but couldn't he at least pick a team outside of our own division?

Also, does anybody here think that much of our failure this season can be attributed to apathy of the players, since they know their leader is gone after the season?

A place to bury strangers.

There's always that one dream job that changes our plans...

Holmgren grew up in SF and honed his offensive skills under the tutelage of Bill Walsh, the last successful GM/Coach the 49ers had. If the Niners were to offer him the same job (GM/Coach), do you think he could really say no to the opportunity to be the next Bill Walsh for his hometown? Could you do that?

I still think he takes the year off if the Niners offer him just the coaching job. But if they come at him with GM or something similar, watch out.
