Mike Holmgren to Coach the 49ers?

There is speculation by Sports Illustrated writer Don Banks, that if Mike Holmgren is done in Seattle, as is expected, then he can come over the bay and coach the 49ers. I am intrigued by this idea because he would bring so much experience and power to San Francisco and the fact that he was an assistant coach under Bill Walsh- any disciple of Walsh is worthy of taking the reins in San Francisco. I think the Mike Nolan era is over, he hasn’t done anything visible to improve the team and three years is enough for this type of experiment. I’m all for Holmgren coming over, I just wish it was sooner rather than later. Here is the excerpt from the article:

Holmgren and his wife, Kathy, have other more admirable interests in life besides football and I could see them deciding to pour their energies into their church or charitable work — Kathy is a nurse who has taken medical missionary trips to Africa and elsewhere. It’s not beyond the imagination that Holmgren would take another coaching job, but I think it would have to be a perfect fit, such as a homecoming to San Francisco, should the 49ers continue to disappoint and bring the Mike Nolan era to a close.
