12 Coaches Named for 2025 Hall of Fame Class

The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Blue-Ribbon Committee has narrowed its list of coach nominees for the Class of 2025 to 12 candidates, including notable figures such as Tom Coughlin, Mike Shanahan, and Dan Reeves. The selection process will continue as the committee aims to reduce this list to nine semifinalists before eventually selecting one finalist. Coughlin, who had successful tenures with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants, is recognized for leading the Giants to two Super Bowl victories. Shanahan, a two-time Super Bowl-winning coach with the Broncos, and Reeves, who reached nine Super Bowls as a player and coach, are also in contention. The final decision on the inductee will be made prior to Super Bowl LVIX, scheduled for February 9, 2025. This year’s process highlights the legacy of these coaches within the NFL, as they each have had significant impacts on their teams and the league overall.
