Holmgren wants to talk Seattle return

As team President, and GM

Seattle's former coach and one-time general manager said Friday during his semi-weekly radio show in Seattle that he'd like to talk to Seahawks owner Paul Allen and chief executive officer Tod Leiweke about becoming the team's GM and perhaps president.

Those titles became vacant on Thursday when the Seahawks forced Tim Ruskell to resign weeks before his five-year contract was to end.

"Absolutely, I would like to talk to them," Holmgren said on KJR AM from Arizona, where he has one of his homes.

Cleveland and Buffalo are two other teams that have been linked to interest in Holmgren, who hasn't decided whether he wants to come back as a coach or as an executive. Other teams could be angling for him soon, too.

None have the inherent advantages present in Seattle, where Holmgren still owns a home, where his family is now rooted -- and where Holmgren still has experience with and detailed knowledge of the roster.

"I think I've made it pretty clear I'd like to go back to work after this season. I didn't know where. This is a little bit of a surprising development in Seattle," he said.

"But I've also said this, that the people and the team has to want you. The situation has to be right, the opening has to be right. And that's why I've tried to keep an open mind, not get too emotional about it ... This is not news: my family is there, I have a strong attachment to the city and my time there. But I also know things change. You never know. The organization has to feel you're the right fit.

"If the fit is right, who knows?"

I think he should take the job,since he already lives in Seattle and has connections. He would be great to have around the organization especially to help out Mora if he needs it.
