Two-time Super Bowl-winning coaches Tom Coughlin, Mike Shanahan and George Seifert are among the coaching candidates being considered for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.

Another Super Bowl winner, Mike Holmgren, also made the list Thursday as the Hall’s nine-member blue-ribbon committee for coaches whittled the list of candidates down to 12.

The committee will whittle the list down to nine semifinalists over the next few weeks before selecting a finalist to present to the Hall’s full selection committee for consideration early next year.

The one coaching candidate will be grouped with one contributor and three senior candidates. Between one and three of these five finalists will make it into the Hall if they receive at least 80% of the votes of the entire committee.

Coughlin, Shanahan and Seifert are among 14 coaches to win multiple Super Bowls. Nine of these coaches are already in the Hall and Bill Belichick and Andy Reid are not yet eligible.

Coughlin coached the Jaguars and Giants for 20 years. He led the Jaguars to the AFC title game in their second season as a franchise and back again in the 1999 season. However, he celebrated his greatest success after taking over the Giants in 2004.

He led the franchise to the Super Bowl title in the 2007 season when New York defeated the undefeated Patriots and again four years later defeated Belichick, Tom Brady and New England. Coughlin finished the regular season with a record of 170-150.

Seifert helped the 49ers win two titles as defensive coordinator under Bill Walsh, and then two more as head coach after taking over for Walsh in 1989.

He won at least 10 games in all eight seasons as coach of the 49ers, with his 98-30 (.766) record being the best of any coach of a single team with at least 100 games. But he was unable to repeat that success in three seasons with the Panthers, posting a 16-32 record.

Shanahan was offensive coordinator under Seifert on San Francisco’s championship team in 1994 and won back-to-back titles as head coach with the Broncos in 1997-98. Shanahan finished with a 170-138 record for the Raiders, Broncos and Washington, and his influence on the game remains strong today through his students, including his son Kyle, who coaches San Francisco.

Four other current NFL head coaches worked under Shanahan in Washington – Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Matt LaFleur and Raheem Morris – and the offensive system he introduced to the league, which combined the outside zone running with the passing game, is still the most widely used today in the league.

Holmgren preceded Shanahan as offensive coordinator in San Francisco and also had a major influence on future coaches, as Reid and Jon Gruden went on to win Super Bowls after working under Holmgren with the Packers. Holmgren had a 161-111 record for the Packers and Seahawks, winning the 1996 title. He reached the Super Bowl the following season in Green Bay and again in the 2005 season in Seattle.

Other candidates include former Oilers, Titans and Rams coach Jeff Fisher; Chuck Knox, who won Coach of the Year honors with the Rams, Bills and Seahawks; Dan Reeves, who went to four Super Bowls with Denver and the Falcons; and Marty Schottenheimer, who won 200 regular-season games as head coach of the Browns, Chiefs, Washington and Chargers and reached the playoffs 13 times in 20 full seasons.

The list of candidates also includes several coaches better known for their work as assistants: Bill Arnsparger, the defensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins’ perfect team in 1972 and Super Bowl winner the following season; Richie Petitbon, who called the defense in Washington against three Super Bowl champions; and longtime offensive line coach Alex Gibbs, who helped Denver win two titles in the 1990s and popularized the zone blocking scheme.

The final candidate is the innovative Clark Shaughnessy, considered the “Father of the T-Formation” and a three-receiver set during his long career, which included a stint as an advisor to Bears coach George Halas for a 73-0 Title game victory belonged to Washington in 1940, two years as head coach of the Rams and a stint as defensive coordinator for Halas in Chicago.
