What kind of offensive line coach are the Seattle Seahawks getting in Mike Solari?
"He's the best," Mike Holmgren said. "He's the best."
Holmgren would know better than most.
Solari was Seattle's offensive line coach during Holmgren's final season as the team's head coach in 2008 (and also in 2009 under Jim L. Mora). They coached against each other for several years before that, including for almost a decade when Solari held the same position with Kansas City. The Seahawks and Chiefs were AFC West rivals for part of that stretch.
"I’ve always admired him," Holmgren said during one of his regular segments on Sports Radio 950 KJR in Seattle.
