Jesus Christ, you don't hire a HEAD COACH simply because he's experienced with QB's.
Ask Cleveland how that worked out.
Hell, ask Seattle how that worked out.

Seattle made a super bowl, was in the playoffs every year but one, and won a playoff game virtually every year. Unless you're saying holmgren was responsible for nagging back injuries to hasselbeck which is what ultimately led to their downfall.
I don't care how it worked out in Cleveland. He failed as a gm in green bay too. And he wasn't on the field coaching qbs.
And the idea that holmgren is out of touch is ridiculous. Again, he coordinated for joe Montana. He coached steve young, a mobile qb. Then he coached Brett favre, a more big Ben like gunslinger. Then matt hasselbeck, a pure pocket qb. Three hall of famers. Hasselbeck was good too. And unlike big Ben, three of those guys were prospects nobody else saw potential in. I don't know what to say if cp is seriously trying to sell that cowher is a better guy for qbs than holmgren. Let me repeat. He coached three hall of fame qbs, with three different styles, in three different eras. If he can coach steve young, he sure as hell can coach Geno smith.
