That was the reporter structuring the story to combine a superbowl defeat, with a previous "possible" decision that he'd talked about with his wife. Can't you see the journalism structure? Read the rest of the article for once!
There is, Holmgren said, no timetable for determining his future, and it's possible a decision might not come until after the season.
"It could be as simple as, 'How about we go through next year and if you're happy and I'm feeling good then we'll meet.' I really don't know," Holmgren said.
There are some who felt that, had the Seahawks defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl, Holmgren, a man of many interests who has spoken in the past about what he might want to do after his coaching career, might have retired.
Holmgren acknowledged such a scenario was the exit strategy his wife had in mind, but that he never thought much about it. He will, though, take some more time to consider the future, but emphasized that he will not keep Seahawks officials in the dark.
"Sometimes you just don't know," he said. "I'm not being cute, or leveraging anything, or doing anything like that. I want to be fair and I want to be honest with my bosses and certainly my owner. So I just asked them, 'Give me some time on this.' And they said that was fine."
Sounds like holmren would have retired if he had WON the Superbowl! Now it sounds like he wants to hang out another year or two.
