GREEN BAY – Former Packers head coach Mike Holmgren is one of nine semifinalists in the coach category for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025.
Holmgren coached the Packers from 1992-98, leading Green Bay to six playoff appearances in those seven seasons, including three NFC Central titles, three NFC Championship Game appearances, and back-to-back Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XXXI following the 1996 season and ending the Packers' 29-year title drought.
After leaving Green Bay, Holmgren also coached the Seattle Seahawks to that franchise's first Super Bowl appearance, following the 2005 season.
The other semifinalists in the coach category are Bill Arnsparger, Tom Coughlin, Chuck Knox, Dan Reeves, Marty Schottenheimer, George Seifert, Mike Shanahan and Clark Shaughnessy.
Holmgren reached the semifinalist stage last year in the coach/contributor category. The Hall of Fame has since split that group into two and will nominate one coach and one contributor for consideration by the full selection committee for induction.
The one finalist in the coach category will be chosen on Nov. 19.
