I know that 4 LB's was just the scheme he had that day, but he never had less than 4 LB's, and when going against a multi reciever set team like the eagles, that is a ballsy move. There is no real point in bringing this up besides that I am still impressed by his scheme that day. I still cant see how not going into a nickle or dime package even once the whole game could ever work against the powerful pass offense of the eagles, but somehow it did.
Also, not so many of Holmgren's coordinators in such a short period of time were considered for HC job.
