Patience. I thanked Paul for being patient with me in a rather volatile business, to allow your coaches to build something and to believe in them. You don't always see it as much as you should in this business, and he has been great for me. With the patience Mr. Allen has shown me, he gave me a chance to stand on the podium.
More Quotes from Mike Holmgren:
At the end of the year, if you have a guy who scores 20 touchdowns, gains 1,500 yards, goes to the Pro Bowl, does all those things, you're probably happy you have him, ... And Shaun, I'm glad we have him. If you can have a guy not get hurt and play for you all season long, that will be a positive for your football team.Mike Holmgren
I expected more from him. We had a nice visit. I think the world of him. I think he is a really good player. I set the bar very high for him. My expectation level for him is high. Any time he falls short of that, fair or not fair, I want to talk to him about it.

I talk about that a lot. I think if you asked one of my players, they'd probably tell you I kill them with that stuff. Just being careful. It's the last thing I told them Sunday night after we broke from the stadium after the game. After this incident, it gave me another opportunity because they were listening. I mean for the guys who kind of tuned me out before, now I had everybody listening and we talked about it, which, I think, is my responsibility as a coach. You know these guys are my family, and it would be like talking to your own kids, you don't want bad things to happen to them so let's try to help them a little bit.
Mike Holmgren
We talked through some of those things. We just had a really good talk. We've been able to communicate very well.
