NFL Coaches Fight Club: the Tournament. Because we have nothing better to do than predict what might happen if head coaches started punching each other in the face.

Because the NFL season never ends, we present our 2009 Offseason Roadmaps for front offices to navigate through the summer.

Mike Holmgren has long been one of the primary identities of the Seattle Seahawks. He took them to the Super Bowl and made them a perennial winner of the NFC West. Then last year happened. As Holmgren's retirement tour rolled along, more and more injuries piled up, Seneca Wallace had to start at quarterback for a few games, and the Seahawks stumbled to a 4-12 record.

Free agent tight end and former Atlanta Falcon Alge Crumpler may be close to signing with the Seattle Seahawks. It makes some sense, seeing that former Falcons head coach Jim Mora, Jr. will be the head coach of the Seahawks once Mike Holmgren retires.

[Crumpler's agent Butch] Williams said. "With Coach [Jim] Mora, Mr. [Tim] Ruskell and Patrick Kerney in Seattle, that causes us to be comfortable."

Mora was fired by the Falcons as the head coach after the 2006. Ruskell served as Atlanta's assistant general manager until being named Seattle's president of football operations in 2005. Former defensive end Patrick Kerney signed with Seattle last season.

From a system standpoint, it makes sense. Crumpler thrived in the West Coast offense in Atlanta -- even if quarterback Michael Vick didn't. He'll go to Seattle and work with a very experienced QB who is well versed in the offense.

It still isn't a done deal, however, as the Tennessee Titans may still be in play. If the Titans come with something much better, Crumpler may elect to become Vince Young's main target.
