That could mean anything. I take that to mean he is not interested in the job beyond this year [[the end of his contract) but has too much pride to not pass the job off to someone that he can help this season.

I expect Holland to retire after this year and Steve Yzerman steps in before next years draft.
That is hopefully the scenario. By then Yzerman should have a fairly young team with a few high draft picks on the roster, a few more expensive vets and their contracts gone, and Larkin in a leadership role.
