Coughlin and Shanahan among finalists for 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame coaching class

Tom Coughlin, Mike Shanahan, and George Seifert are among the 12 coaching candidates for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame. The list was reduced by the Hall's blue-ribbon committee, which will select nine semifinalists soon. Coughlin and Shanahan are two-time Super Bowl winners, while Seifert also won two titles with the San Francisco 49ers. The committee will eventually choose one finalist to present to the full selection committee early next year. Other notable candidates include Mike Holmgren, Jeff Fisher, and Dan Reeves. The final selection will include one coach, one contributor, and three senior candidates, with up to three being inducted based on committee votes.
