When he's not making doody in his diaper, Mike Holmgren is spitting up creamed carrots or screaming for his "binky."
Apparently.
In March, Mike Holmgren was still blaming the refs for the Hawks' Super Bowl loss (we still contend it was Holmgren's shitty clock management and predictable abandonment of the running attack which costs the Hawks the game). And now we learn of yet another example of infantilism.
Mike Sando at Seahawks Insider points us to a USA Today story revealing that when Holmgren encountered former Seahawk Steve Hutchinson at an offseason wedding, coach gave him the silent treatment. Reports Hutchinson:
"I put my hand out to shake Mike's hand at the wedding, and he went right by me and didn't even look at me."
Hutchinson left the team as a free agent, under what Hawks' brass considers nefarious circumstances. He thinks Holmgren was joking with the public snuff. Not so. Says Holmgren:
"Steve came out for a wedding for our head equipment guy, Art Kennedy," Holmgren says. "He came up to shake my hand, and I wouldn't talk to him. I went and hugged his wife."By the end of the evening, we sat down and talked," Holmgren said. "I wish him the best. It's just too bad he's not with us. I miss him."
Mike Holmgren, you need a time out. Oh, wait--you'd never fucking use it!

Oh, please, give me a break. So Holmgren gave Hutchinson the cold shoulder for a short time. So what. Good for him. Shows he's competitive and has some fire in his belly. As far as I am concerned, screw Hutchinson. I'd have been disappointed if Mike gave him a bear hug actually, after Hutch let the Vikings put that poison pill clause in his offer sheet.

Totally agree that Holgren's poor clock management was much more of a factor than a couple of close calls. His clock/game management cost Green Bay a chance to win a Super Bowl against Denver (let's let them score so we have a chance!)
And he didn't shake Cowher's hand after the Super Bowl.
