Animal, you make some solid points and you are great poster here at Caste Football. I rarely disagree with any of your points, but this time I do disagree, just a little a bit. I don't think Eric being too 'white friendly' had anything to do with him being fired. And I don't think he'll be asked to change if he ever gets a 3rd shot. I think he was fired because that bloated Swedish American idiot (Holmgren) that the Lerner family hired to run their team felt threatened by him. Mike Homo-gren didn't want a head coach that refused to be his personal butt-plug/'yes man'.
A couple quick points:
Yes, Cleveland was somewhat white friendly during Eric's time, but it wasn't like they were the '72 Miami Dolphins, who probably had 15 or 16 white starters. They were not much different than the Patriots and Packers (race wise), who the media types love.
Also, when I typed my first response, I knew Eric's brother-in-law was the GM of the Indians.
What I did not know, was he's the son-in-law of Ron Shapiro**, who is an absolute 'Titan' in the world sports and sports media, with ties to Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell, who's a very close friend of the Lerner's from his time as the owner of the original Browns.
My guess is the Shapiro's are a big reason Eric was hired in New York (by Tannenbaum) and Cleveland and ESPN now. If anything, I truly believe that fat turd, Caste clown deluxe Holmgren could really be in the dog house if Schurmur fails, because he might have caused a rift between the Lerner's and the Shapiro's (two prominent, very wealthy Jewish American families) due to Eric's firing....If Shurmur doesn't win soon, the fatman (Holmgren) will likely go down to sidelines and replace him, in a last-ditch effort to save his own @ss. At that point, Cleveland's roster could be very similar to Cards, Steelers or Bucs.

In the wild, a beached Walrus can be one of the most aggressive, violent, nasty, and territorial creatures on the planet. However, the ferocity with which these marine mammals protect their own kind is the utter antithesis of the treacherous ways of their only know human counterpart, Mike Holmgren. What’s most disconcerting about Holmgren’s nauseating Afro-philia (over the past 15-20 years) is the “whiteness” of his past.
In the 1970’s, Holmgren was a backup quarterback on some very good USC squads. After coaching at the high school level following his playing career, Holmgren became the quarterbacks coach at lily-white (much more so than today’s team) BYU, even winning a national title in 1984. The Walrus can be seen in the top left of the photo, he is the fifth person over in the second row from the top…
Holmgren then became the offensive coordinator for the 49ers dynasty, winning two Superbowls (1988 and 1989).
The 1988 team featured 30 whites…
The 1989 team featured 27 whites…
During the final year of Holmgren’s tenure, 1991, the team featured 24 whites…
In 1992, Holmgren became the Packers’ head coach. During the 1993 season, the roster featured 22 whites…
During their Superbowl seasons of 1996 and 1997, they were down to 18 and 21 whites, respectively…
Sadly, the amount of whites featured on Holmgren’s Packers was a decent amount by today’s putrid standards. As chronicled, Holmgren preferring the chubby, flow-footed tandem of Edgar Bennett and Dorsey Levens to the ultra-fast, ultra-athletic Travis Jervey (#32 in the photo above). He did permit WR Don Beebe to amass nearly 700 yards (after being demoted to his racially-correct “slot receiver” role) during the 1996 championship season.
In 1998, Holmgren’s first year as the coach of the hapless Seattle Seahawks, the team featured 17 whites…
By 2007, nearing the end of Holmgren’s tenure, they featured 14 whites (see Caste Football’s write-up)…
During his time in Seattle, Holmgren even acquired a black “adopted son” (his words, not mine) in the form of perpetually-troubled wide receiver, Koren “Thug” Robinson. He selected Robinson 9[SUP]th[/SUP] overall in the 2001 draft, then became sexually infatuated with the black diva…
But alas, despite Holmgren’s constant dispensation of “fatherly” guidance, “Sonny Boy” betrayed the Walrus-Wigger again and again…
Holmgren:
“Now son, what did I tell you about drunken, high-speed car chases?”
Robinson:
“Sorry, daddy, can I have my spanking now, pretty please?!”
In various interviews after Robinson's arrest(s), Holmgren stated that he was “praying for Koren” on a daily basis. When Holmgren was forced to announce (only under gunpoint from Seattle management) that Robinson was being released from the Seahawks for disciplinary reasons, Holmgren wept at the podium. No, seriously, I’m not kidding.
During his time in Seattle, he utterly tortured WR’s Jerheme Urban and Logan Payne. In 2005, after a slew of black injuries, he did permit WR Joe Jurevicious to shine.
Today, fatboy is attempting to re-create his tenure with the “Somalian Seahawks”…woops, I mean “Seattle Seahawks”...
I suppose my overall contention is that Mike Holmgren wasn’t always the “Wigger Walrus.” Judging by the racial makeup of his Packer teams, it’s fair to say that he didn’t expose himself as “Der Weiss Gott von Afrika” until his odious term in Seattle.
