Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren was chosen as the coaching finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, sources said Tuesday.
In the seniors category, former Packers wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, Maxie Baughan, a linebacker who was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection in the 1960s for the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams and Jim Tyrer, the gigantic offensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1960s and 1970s, were named finalists.
Tyrer's selection comes with controversy as he died in a murder-suicide of his wife in 1980, but senior committee voters and his family members lobbied publicly for his induction.
