Last three years in Seattle: 23-24 record with offensive ranks of: 19, 9, & 28.

Come on. In Holmgren's 17 seasons as an NFL head coach, he had a 174-122, 8 division titles, 3 conference titles and a Super Bowl victory. That's a .588 career winning percentage and it looks a heck of a lot better than the resume of any other candidate people are talking about. The only coach who even gets close is Shanahan.

He will be 67 and out of football for 7 years. This isn't 1998 its 2015.

Wish they would have at least interviewed Holmgren. He wants the job and could have shown JBP (jed, baalke, paraage) some things that may have opened their eyes, hire or not.

So, you're not going to cherry-pick Holmgren's assessment of the Trent Richardson trade as an indictment against him? Of course said trade occurred with Richardson coming off a very strong rookie campaign, but doesn't matter, it apparently proves Holmgren is old, out of touch, and couldn't possibly still be a HC in the NFL.

Anyway, BINGO, I agree with you that he's someone you at least talk to...as I said before, even if you don't hire him, maybe he's open to being consulted on prospective HC and/or OC candidates.

HC: Fangio
DC: Donatell
OC: Frost (University of Oregon)

He took SEA to a SB. I think it is the same with all of the veteran coaches. They begin shopping for the groceries and lose focus. I think Baalke doesn't want to deal with anyone who will always be looking over his shoulder when he's making personnel moves. That's why we won't hire Shanny unless there is like a 2-year condition for someone to take over.

Now let's look at the list of coaches who absolutely will not challenge Baalke on personnel decisions. That will narrow things down a lot. Oregon coach won't work either because that's a whole new level of personnel required and Baalke would definitely need consulting by that coach.

Need more than common sense. As of now, a 31 yr old running back is still your best runner, that aint gonna cut it. The offensive can't pass protect. The running game is also suspect, and you can't blame injuries, something is wrong. You have no WR's that any defense considers a threat. There are no screen plays. And most important of all, you have a QB with shaky confidence that's almost destroyed. Sounds like an overhaul to me.

Classic "guy with all the answers that doesn't even watch the team he's talking about" syndrome. Our starting o-line played maybe a combined eight quarters this season so how the hell was injuries NOT a factor? Also, said patchwork o-line gave up the third most sacks in the league so there's that as well.

Granted, Kap didn't play his best but to put it all on him is absurd.

The rest of your post is so ridiculous it's not even worth addressing.

That 31 year old running back keeps rushing for more than 1000 yards.

And, I never really get this "you can't blame injuries" thing. Of course you can. Injuries are a huge issue every single year. Should Cardinals fans feel that way this year? Can't blame injuries? Come on. When Jonathan Martin is getting bull-rushed back on his azz every play as opposed to Anthony Davis holding his ground, that's a huge difference and it's due to injury. When a player who had 14 TD catches last year has a bad back and only makes 2 TD catches, that's a huge difference probably due to injury. When you've got a rookie playing center because the first team guy is gone for the season, that's going to be another difference due to injury.

People need to understand that no single unit on the Niner team this year played worse than the offensive line and injuries had a lot to do with that.

In other words, has the league caught up to the niner offense of a one on one blocking scheme. I'm not saying ship out Gore, I'm saying you want to keep him longer, and have him and Hyde be dangerous runners to teams like Seattle. Calling different X's and O's is part of the reason the offense, but it's deeper than that. A zone blocking scheme might be what's needed. I was skeptical at first, but I could see this work. But if you keep Fangio and throw in some OC and say "Yep, we're ready to compete", then you're kidding yourselves because there's more wrong with the offense than that.

Whoa, thanks for the heads up. I didn't know what year it was.

Some strange things related to coaching search:

1) The Raiders interviewed Pep Hamilton (and so will Bills); the 49ers could have but didn't (yet).
2) The Niners interviewed OCs Gase and McDaniels. Why not Pep?
3) The Niners will interview (or have interviewed) DCs Teryl Austin and Todd Bowles, and Dan Quinn. They don't don't have head coach experience. What does this say about Fangio? (just dotting i's and crosing t's?)
4) No official word yet on rest of current staff (only that Roman's contract expired and expected not be renewed).
5) Eric Mangini interviewed with the Raiders. (another smoke screen?). What's the deal with this guy?

Wasn't sure with how much you want Holmgren, maybe you thought he was just now looking to get away from Green Bay.

This would be intriguing. Our defense is used to being on the field all game anyway, so that might work out

Selective stats. The guy went to the playoffs 6/10 seasons he was with the Seahawks with an avg roster.

We are f**ked lol

Might be avoiding him because of his Stanford ties? I know he was not a Harbaugh hiring, but still. Who knows...

Raiders were in Indy to interview Pep after the game. 9ers were interviewing another candidate at that time.

Bowles has 3 games of interim experience.
