Mike Holmgren, who helped lead Green Bay out of the wilderness when he became the Packers coach in 1992, now is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Holmgren, the Packers coach from 1992-1998, was the single coach among nine semifinalists recommended to hall voters. To make the hall of fame, finalists received approval by 80% of the members of the full selection committee. Enshrinement will be in August.

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.

Holmgren also was general manager of the Seahawks and team president of the Cleveland Browns. He is a member of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor.

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.
