Holmgren, Sharpe Lead Hall of Fame Finalists

The 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class is shaping up with Mike Holmgren announced as the lone coaching finalist, alongside senior finalists Sterling Sharpe, Maxie Baughan, and Jim Tyrer. Holmgren, known for his successful tenures with the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, was chosen over notable coaches like Mike Shanahan. Sharpe, despite his career being cut short by injury, remains a strong candidate due to his impressive record with the Packers. Tyrer's consideration is controversial due to his involvement in a murder-suicide, yet advocates cite his on-field achievements. The selection process also includes Ralph Hay as a contributor finalist, recognizing his role in the NFL's formation. The final selections will occur with a vote during Super Bowl week, requiring at least 80% approval from the selection committee.
