Mike Shanahan will wait at least another year for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The winningest coach in Broncos history was passed over by a blue ribbon committee in charge of selecting a coaching candidate as a finalist for the 2025 class.
The Hall announced Tuesday that Mike Holmgren is the lone finalist for consideration by the full selection committee. Holmgren was picked over Shanahan, fellow former Denver coach Dan Reeves and six others.
Shanahan, of course, took over as Broncos head coach in 1995 and led the franchise to Super Bowl victories in 1997 and 1998.
