Mike Holmgren is making progress in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 selection process

GREEN BAY – On Thursday, the Pro Football Hall Fame announced that former Packers head coach Mike Holmgren has advanced to the next phase of the selection process for the Class of 2025.

One coach will be selected as a finalist for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.

The Hall’s nine-member Coach Blue-Ribbon Committee has narrowed the original list of 14 nominees to Holmgren, Bill Arnsparger, Tom Coughlin, Jeff Fisher, Alex Gibbs, Mike Holmgren, Chuck Knox, Richie Petitbon, Dan Reeves, Marty Schottenheimer , George Seifert, Mike Shanahan and Clark Shaughnessy.

Each member of the Blue-Ribbon Committee will cast an additional vote later this month to reduce the list to nine semi-finalists, with the results announced in approximately two weeks.

Holmgren was the Packers’ head coach from 1992 to 1998 before leading the Green Bay Packers from 1992 to 1998 and the Seattle Seahawks from 1999 to 2008. He won Super Bowl XXXI with the Packers and appeared in another as Seattle’s head coach.

During Holmgren’s seven years in Green Bay, he led the Packers to their first Super Bowl title in 29 years; compiled a .670 winning percentage in the regular season, a mark surpassed only by Vince Lombardi; and finished on the positive side of .500 every year, something the Packers had done only four times in the past 24 years.
