Seahawks coach Holmgren may be asked to quit GM job

SEATTLE (AP) -- Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren will be asked to relinquish his job as general manager, a Seattle television station reported late Sunday.
The station, KCPQ, cited an unidentified player in its report, but a team spokesman called it "erroneous" and said no decision has been made.
Holmgren is expected to meet with team owner Paul Allen and team president Bob Whitsitt within 48 hours to discuss his future.
"We'll do that when the season's over, which I did last year, which I've done every year since I've been here," Holmgren said last week. "We'll meet at that point."
A report on CBS SportsLine speculated that Holmgren was considering whether to relinquish his GM responsibilities and remain with the team as coach.
Holmgren is 31-33 in four years in Seattle, closing this season with three straight wins after a 31-28 overtime victory at San Diego on Sunday. The Seahawks went 7-9, following 9-7, 6-10 and 9-7 seasons under Holmgren.
The Seahawks reached the playoffs in 1999, Holmgren's first season, and lost to Miami 20-17 in the AFC wild-card round.
