Mike Holmgren confirms he met with the Raiders after the firing of coach Dennis Allen, but claims "no jobs were discussed."
However, Holmgren passed on a flat "no" when asked if he might end up the next coach of the Raiders. "Well, you know what?" Holmgren said. "Now we’re gonna start something else again. ... Probably not." Holmgren would be an uninspiring hire for a team so deep in the gutter, but has always been much better as a coach than executive. At the very least, he'd make the Raiders watchable.
