Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren sees Green Bay Packers era as highest career mark – NFL News
Cleveland Browns’ president Mike Holmgren has seen his Green Bay Packers’ stint as head coach as one of the brightest spots of his National Football League (NFL) career, which he said makes him proud of the fact that he had been a part of the legacy that
was built and left during his official tenure.
He was sharing his thoughts with writers from the Packers blog after a colourful ceremony, which marked his induction into the Packers Hall of Fame along with former Packers general manager Ron Wolf.
The official said:
"We changed a lot of the culture in the building. And that's easy to say - and hard to do. That probably, to me, over the course of time, will mean the most."
He added:
“I just think, how good are the Packers now. What's happened since 1992. As opposed to what had happened prior to 1992 for all those years. I just have to look at the stadium and walk through here. I mean it is unbelievable how things have changed. I had
a little part of that -- a little thing to do with that and I'll feel good about that."
Mike was with the Packers from 1992 to 1998. He helped the side win the Super Bowl XXXI in 1996, the highest performance mark for the official's NFL career. This makes him stand out as one of the most successful coaches in the league.
Irrespective of the success that Mike achieved as a coach at Packers, he has recently come under fire over his responsibilities at Browns. A number of circles have questioned the commitment level of Mike given he has kept himself away from many affairs of
the team.
While reacting to such reports, Holmgren recently said he will increase his interaction with the media and also involvement in the team affairs this season. Since his remarks, which had come about a month ago, he has made the headlines for a couple of times.
Alongside his intentions of increasing his role in the team’s affairs, he said he will refrain from meddling into the coach’s authorities or other staff matters.
