San Francisco is where Mike Holmgren grew up, where he coached high-school football and where he came back to work as an NFL assistant coach. San Francisco will be looking for a new coach this offseason after firing Mike Nolan earlier this week and Holmgren is in the final year of his coaching contract in Seattle. He said during a teleconference with Bay Area reporters Wednesday that he once considered the 49ers coaching gig to be his dream job. An advanced math degree is not required to add things up, and the circumstances say San Francisco could be a consideration for Holmgren. So what does he say? "Seattle is my home," Holmgren said. "This is my team. We've talked more than a few times in here about my future, so right now, we've got to figure out how to win a game here for the Seattle Seahawks." Holmgren has not ruled out coaching in the future, but he said repeatedly he intends to take a year off before making any decisions on what -- or where -- his future might be. Is the San Francisco job enough to make him reconsider those plans? "You're really going to ask me that?" Holmgren said Wednesday. Yup. So how about it? "Right now, the plan is to stay with the plan I told you," Holmgren said. "We're going to take the year off, find out a little bit about myself, and that's the plan right now. That's how I'm thinking, and I think I've been consistent with that."
