[QUOTE="weeds, post: 469597, member: 39"] Whatever his motivation was ... there was a precedent ... he came from San Francisco to Green Bay. I don't know that that is egotistical. That is what competitors do -- and the money didn't hurt neither. If I were a betting man, I'd say that it did indeed enter his mind that he could carve his name into the history books by turning the Packers around...there was precedent there too ... Vince Lombardi. Ron Wolf referred to Holmgren as "the girl with the curl" in his book, [U]The Packer Way[/U] ... EVERY team in the market for head coach had Holmgren on the top of their wish list. I'd venture a guess that Wolf laid the same line on Holmgren that the two of them laid on Reggie White; and I paraphrase: "You'll be well regarded if you win somewhere else. HERE, you'll be a LEGEND." It took me a long time to forget Super Bowl 32 ... Seattle was already tampering with him prior to that Super Bowl...and I couldn't help but think that Holmgren was already checking out NorthWest real estate prices until the Pack blocked his exit for the '98 season. I just felt at the time that it was out of character for him. [/QUOTE]
