Love him or hate him, Mike Holmgren is Seattle football; even today. Regardless of the right or wrongs of a GM hiring in general, let it be known that the next GM had better win, and win quick, or he will have the same quip about being the "Man the let the 'Show' go".

I would suggest that hiring a GM, where rules are in place on what he can do and not do, specifically regarding personnel hires and coaching, will greatly, in a negative fashion, Seattles effort to attract top talent.

If, in fact, Seattle like's the approach, and made Ruskell the martyr, then keep Webster, and let's ride. If not, Leiweke will need to stand down from his position of power a bit, and let a GM be a GM.

Either way, the new guy will be a pariah if he does not win quickly, and Holmgren has any type of success elsewhere.

This should be some interesting, if not tragic, few years of football for Seattle.

This may simply be "creating" news rather than "reporting" news. This rumor will not go away until Paul Allen makes a decision on our leaderships future.

In my opinion, I just want exciting football. That is my GM choice; a guy that brings excitment.
