May have wanted to come to GB? What makes you say that? The article makes it sound like he had absolutely no interest at all in coming to Green Bay, even though he was asked twice:


Holmgren got the same answer from O'Brien that his short-lived successor, Ray Rhodes, received in 1999 when he was putting together his coaching staff.

It was a flat "no." Nothing against the Packers, but O'Brien didn't want his Badger State family and friends to distract him from his single-minded, all-encompassing approach to coaching.

I didn't get that from reading the article at all.

All I got was he was from Wisconsin so McGinn jumps to the conclusion, some how, that he might have wanted to come to GB and how many more games we would have won.

Listen, he has to justify the travel expense somehow.
