[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 186422, member: 195"] Good point, R.P. At this point I would give the nod to Holmgren, but it's hard to compare them. Holmgren arrived in Green Bay with an excellent track record as offensive coordinator for a championship team in San Francisco. By the time his Packers got really good in '95, Holmgren had proven that he was more than solid as a head coach, and he did a fantastic job helping Brett Favre become an elite QB. McCarthy, on the other hand, had much less impressive credentials as an OC, and this is only his second year as a head coach. He is much less of a proven commodity than Holmgren was in '96. And he hasn't had to start from scratch with a young QB. That's why I give the nod to Holmgren. HOWEVER...There is another way of looking at it. Mike McCarthy is shooting like a meteor through the NFL right now, coming out of nowhere (coordinating the 32nd ranked 49ers offense in 2005) to emerge as quite possibly one of the best head coaches in the league. So while Holmgren may have had the advantage over McCarthy in terms of proven quality, McCarthy has MOMENTUM on his side, in a big way. I would even say that McCarthy impresses me more than Holmgren did. It's just too early in his career for me to say he's a better coach than Holmgren. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
