August 16 was the deadline for nominating finalists for the coaches/contributors wing of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Former Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren was among the semifinalists on the coaches/contributors side, but since only one can be chosen for nomination as a finalist, it was always going to be tough for Holmgren to finally reach Canton. Unfortunately, he’ll remain on the outside looking in after the committee chose Buddy Parker over Holmgren, Tom Coughlin, Mike Shanahan, and Dan Reeves (among others).
