Holmgren is not my first choice, but I agree that he would be a hell of a lot better than Mora and probably Arians too (although I am intrigued with the Telasco / Arians connection).

Holmgren is going to be 65 and hasn't been a head coach since 2008.

Pete Carroll is 61...was away from a NFL coaching gig for a long while.

I am a huge Holmgren fan... the GM interaction would be the only issue

Good to know. As long as people are comfortable with it, I don't see it being a problem.

Yeah exactly he has been out way too long and you usually dont succeed after being out that long

Carroll is 61, but looks as healthy and enthusiastic as a 30 year old man.

I think you mistake Holmgren's portly appearance as either jolly or lethargic...neither is true.

Mike Holmgren is one of the most intense coaches period.

I am supporting the idea of Holmgren being a candidate. Should have made that clearer

gotcha, sorry if I misread your post

Age is irrelevant IMO... Obviously I'm on the Holmgren bandwagon. He'd be a great asset for any young GM. He makes so much sense for this franchise its not even a question.

Holmgren or Gruden and we'd be on the right track. Anybody else and its same ol' Chargers IMO.

Haha, anybody else? Give me a break.
