Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Pete is a total bad ass....I will say it, I love that guy. How he approaches the game, interacts with the crazy 12's and admits to mistakes such as Percy and the pass.
The guy is world class.

I also liked Ground Chuck ... didn't love him ... liked him.
Holmgren ... can diaff for all I care.
Strange that he never brings that up.
The fucking Seahawks.
I agree he's overrated as hell. But I can't hate the first coach that made that team matter in 20 years.
A good to great manager not only has a strong influence over the pitching aspect of the game, but also in terms of putting his players in the best possible position to be successful.
Further, baseball is an everyday sport for over 6 months where performance matters literally every single day. Having the pulse of your roster and knowing when to give guys a day off here and there as well as knowing when to go to the whip and when to just stay the course is a huge factor when considering a good or bad manager.
99-04 are Holmgren's drafts. They are pretty bad. Ruskell was even worse.

However, I do recall there were a bunch of 12's who were pissed Holmgren didn't get the full control job here ... Seahawks went with Carroll and Schneider ... I think it worked out ok.
Seriously.
