FILE - This Dec. 30, 2008 file photo shows former Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren during a news conference in Renton, Wash. After so many seasons of trying to insulate his teams from the noise on the outside and shield players from nosey media, Holmgren now finds himself on the other side. He may be a coach with Hall of Fame credentials, but he’s simply a fan, observer and part-time member of the media when it comes to the NFC championship game on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014 between Seattle and San Francisco, two franchises he knows quite well.
