We took him from Miami in 2007 while he was QB coach there. He was under contract, and the only way he could come here was if he got a promotion. So they made him OC and made Sparano Assistant Head Coach. Garrett called the plays, but that was Sparano's offense (and a lot of Parcell's leftover philosophies). It was talked about ad nauseum here.
But just for kicks, let's add Garrett's 2007 stats:
Holmgrens stats still blows Garrett's out of the water. And considering the talent Gruden had to work with in Philly during those 3 years his stats are very respectable . . . I mean Philly was suiting up Randall Cunningham, Rodney Peete, Ty Detmer, Boby Hoying, and an aged Mark Rypien for QB while Gruden was OC.

I just think give the guy credit for the job he was given and that he carried out, and I guess my argument is that you had other teams ready to give him a HC job based on his performance, Sparano assisted or not.
BUT, I AM WITH YOU ON HOLMGREN anyway.
I would love to see Holmgren here as the HC. I think he is the one "retread" who would be more than a retread.
You can keep Gruden (no thanks), and Cowher (no thanks) and Shanahan.
But I think Mike Holmgren is a quality HC.
