When Mike Holmgren left the Green Bay Packers after the 1998 season, it was the end of an era. Holmgren ran to greener, or at least limer, pastures with Seattle, and had a relatively successful tenure there, reaching and losing one Super Bowl while qualifying for the post season 6 times including 5 in a row from 2003 to 2007. Notable connections existed throughout Holmgren's tenure in Seattle between the Seahawks and the Packers, most notably Matt Hasselbeck coming from Green Bay, and Ahman Green and Ted Thompson flying in from the Emerald City. This off-season, Holmgren took the job of President of the Cleveland Browns, in the process attempting to rectify one of the NFL's most dilapidated franchises. With this being the second executive to leave the Packers this offseason, hopefully the team-building process will not be too greatly affected, and not stop the great progress that has been accomplished over the last several years.
