Holmgren was with three Super Bowl-winning teams. He was head coach of the Packers before moving to Seattle, where he coached the Seahawks from 1999-2008. He took the Packers to two Super Bowls, winning one, and the Seahawks to one. He also was with two winning Super Bowl teams as an assistant coach with the San Francisco 49ers. His overall coaching record, including playoffs, was 174-122.

Holmgren was hired to lead the Packers by general manager Ron Wolf, who presented his new coach with future hall of fame quarterback Brett Favre at the same time.

Eleven of Holmgren’s assistant coaches became head coaches in the NFL or NCAA, including Andy Reid, now coaching the Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs, and Todd Bowles, head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
