Favre's former coach contemplating return to NFL

Looks like Brett Favre and Mike Holmgren operate along the same frequency. On the heels of Favre's possible return to the NFL, former Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren is getting the urge to return to football per ESPN.com.

"I would never say never," said Holmgren, on KJR radio in Seattle when asked about a potential return to the Seahawks. "That would be a nice thing if I could come back in some capacity and work for the club."



"Take a look at who just popped into the Q13 Fox studio. That's former Seahawks Coach Mike Holmgren with his wife Kathy. They were here to talk about their ongoing work in Africa."

Following a disappointing season in which the Seahawks finished 4-12, and the team unceremoniously announced that 2008 would be his last season, Holmgren agreed to take a year off.

Holmgren coached the Green Bay Packers from 1992 - 1998 when Favre was on the team.

Across the country, fans are twittering their response to this recent development from Seattle.
