European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 2, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday. February 2,1990 the stars and stripes Page 23commentarywho�?Ts the Boss maybe Holmgren by Mark Emmons the Mesa arli Tribune new Orleans a this is just a gut feeling but chances arc Mike Holmgren has been Busy updating his resume. So As he marches Imo interviews with the Phoenix cardinals and new York jc1s this week to make his Kilch for their respective head coaching positions he As one minor addition to his professional accomplishments that just might make a difference. It would read like this a was offensive coordinator of san Francisco 49ers unit that scored record 55 Lints in sunday s f us upor bowl xxiv against highly regarded Denver defense. For references Call Karl Mecklenburg Dennis Smith. Circa Kragen Sluse Atwater  then for inc resume he presents to inc cardinals. He also could make this notation a by the Way. This was the same Broncos defense that shut nut the cardinals .17-0 in late  Mike Holmgren this is the son of stuff that surely will get cardinals general manager Larry Wilson s attention As if Holmgren has t already caught it. What Holmgren s Olf Csc did to Denver should get him Holo pfc in the Colorado state Penitentiary with hard Lahore. Instead the rout just might gel him a head coaching Job. This was the sort of game that one can build a reputation upon. It was a performance for the Ages and one that should make Holm Gren s relatively Young age 41 it moot Point his Stock might never be higher than it is at this moment. And right now its going through the roof. Quot there arc some jobs open and there s interest in  san Francisco head coach George Seifert said. A we certainly Don t want to lose Mike. He is a Fine Fine coach and someday will be a Fine head coach.1 maybe even someday in the next week not that tins Prospect makes the 49ers Happy. Quot at Tome Point in his career he a going Quot said 49ers general manager John Mcvay. A but we want to be selfish about  but unless san Francisco plans to fire Seifert Holmgren is going going gone. After being part of the 49crs�?T Gold Rush Holmgren wants to try his Luck mining an Ore vein of his own. As far As the cardinals search is concerned there s the sense that Holmgren los Angeles rams defensive coordinator frit Shurmur and Cincinnati offensive coordinator Bruce Coslet Are on the same tier with Washington assistant Joe Burcl and Fresno stole head coach Jim Sweeney a step behind. All along. Wilson has refused to make any decision until he talked to Holmgren and the 49crs would t Grant permission until after the super bowl if Holmgren is to get the cardinals Post he must Knock Wilson s socks off in the interview. But this san Francisco native has made a habit of Dorng just that. In 10 years he has gone from being a High school coach who taught history1 to the nil offensive coordinator who helped malic super bowl history. He clearly is a Guy who Sells himself Well in the interview. Holmgren uses a surfing metaphor to describe his rapid climb up the coaching ladder saying he hopped on the Board and has been Riding a big wave Ever since. After sunday s game he s working the Crest of a tidal wave Holmgren clearly to going to make Wilson s decision difficult. Defense Shurmur might win you titles in the nil but offence Holmgren Coslet puts fannies in the seals. That s the cardinals primary consideration in the Short run. Owner Bill Bidwill and Wilson need an cd filing. Marketable pro Duel yesterday. An offensive  has a better Chance of canc Hong the Public s imagination and their wallets. In the week prior to the super bowl there was some debate bordering on heresy that Joe Montana was not the greatest quarterback to Ever bark Quot hike Quot but rather just a great quarterback surrounded by magnificent weapons in a masterful system. That offence was Bill Walsh s baby Bui Holmgren changed the diapers on the infant this year Fine tuning it More to Montana s strengths. Mike knows offence. On the Field inc cardinals most pressing need is to find a coaching staff that can bring along Timm Rosenbach and Tom Tupa. If you Don t have a quarterback in the nil. You re nowhere. Who better to bring along Phoenix s Young lbs than Holmgren or even Coslet there Are liabilities. Is Holmgren ready he has never been a head coach for anybody older than 19. He has been in the nil just four seasons. Holmgren also might be an average Coath who managed Only not to screw up unearthly Talent. If however the cardinals Are looking for a Bright fresh style a a look Tor the 90s, if you will a they Don t come any brighter or fresher than Holmgren. Sunday s rout was not lost on the jets either. Wilson just might end up fighting new York general manager Dick a Leinberg tooth and Nail for Holmgren. If he is bound far Phoenix too bad he can 1 bring Montana. Jerry Rice John Taylor Roger Craig or Tom Rauhman with him. But then maybe Holmgren can stash Steve Young in a travel  coaching left in Motta by Jan Hubbard news Duy at some Point during the new York kicks Sacra Menlo Kings game thursday night. Kings coach Dick Motta no doubt looked at Patrick Ewing at some Point and was jealous. It is a Motla pattern and in this Case it also is understandable because Motta has Greg Kile at Center when the Kings Starling lineup takes the floor Motta. Perhaps recalled one of his tired favorite lines a live been coaching for 19 years and not once have 1 Ever been Able to Call a play for my Center Andna notes know that he could score two  Motla. In should be noted is the third Winni Gesl coach in the history1 of l 111 Aba. Forge for a second he also is the third losing est coach. The Point is that he has done it. For the most part without a great Center and the message is that Motta is a great coach. Motla has a difficult Lime understanding How the kicks could have hired Rick Pitino and Slu Jackson when he was available. When Pitino was hired. Motta desperately wanted the Job. And he certainly could have done everything Pitino did. In two years under Motla. The kicks could have improved from 24 to 38 to 52 victories and lost playoff series in the first and second rounds As they did under Pitino. Under Motta. The kicks could have lost both playoff series in the first round. That was Motta s last achievement in Dallas which a Cal nowhere in the playoffs. This is not to ignore Motta s achievements or his 813-759 career record which including this season projects 10 an average season of 43-39. Motta did win a championship with the bullets in 1978. A Motta s old pal Mark Aguirre seems to be hallucinating. Aguirre resumed to inc Detroit pistons Lin cuff tuesday Afler missing three games with the Quot Back injury he suffered in inc pistons lakers game Jan. 21. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Dennis Rodman but now Aguirre claims inc demotion was his idea. That he suggested the change to pistons coach Chuck Daly. This is an unlikely Story. Aguirre has started since High school and anytime anyone suggested he should be a Reserve he pouted. Dick Motta. With a 81j-759 Mark. Is try ing to lift Kings but maybe there is an explanation. Maybe the december a a meeting Quot occurred when Aguirre dreamed he was in a shopping mall. He spotted Daly sat in Dalys Lap. And told him in was a lifelong wish to be a Reserve. At the Lime Daly dressed in a Bright red suit and wearing a fake while Beard and White hair winked and told Aguirre to wait a month fake an injury miss three games and his wish would be granted Wake up Mark. A there is Little doubt the Indiana pacers soon will be making some sort of Trade. Pacers general manager Donnie Walsh says there is no reason for his learn to make any changes. Walsh is a firm believer in deception and has not been above saying he would select a certain player in the draft while All along planning to take someone else. The pacers began the season 19-9. Then lost 12 of their next 16 games. Walsh said. Quot in we re going to add to this team there arc other ways to do it the draft free  if the pacers make the playoffs they will have no no. 1 draft pick because they traded it to the Mavericks in 1984 for Bill gamete Ana Terence Sun Bury.
