Former Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren is on the cusp of Canton!
Nearly 20 years removed from taking the Seattle Seahawks to their first ever Super Bowl, former head coach Mike Holmgren could finally find himself in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Holmgren was named the coaching finalist for the Class of 2025 on Tuesday, notably beating out fellow Super Bowl champion coaches Mike Shanahan , Tom Coughlin, and George Seifert, as well as fellow former Seahawks head coach Chuck Knox.
The other four announced finalists are Canton Bulldogs owner Ralph Hay , as well as former players Sterling Sharpe, Jim Tyrer, and Maxie Baughan . Tyrer would’ve already been in the Hall of Fame had he not murdered his wife before dying by suicide in 1980. Holmgren went to two Super Bowls with the Green Bay Packers , and won two Super Bowls as a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers.
