Michael George Holmgren (born June 15, 1948 in San Francisco, California) is a National Football League American football coach, and was named as the sixth head coach of the Seattle Seahawks on January 8, 1999. One of Holmgren's claims to fame is the success he has experienced molding future Hall of Fame quarterbacks such as Joe Montana, Steve Young and Brett Favre. During that time the Green Bay Packers were a consistent winner and Holmgren became known as one of the best coaches in the NFL.

Career as a player

Holmgren started out as a tight end before becoming a standout quarterback at San Francisco's Lincoln High School, where he was named "Prep Athlete of the Year" in 1965 and graduated in 1966. He continued his playing career as a quarterback at University of Southern California from 1966-69. As a sophomore he was on USC's national championship team of 1967, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1970. He played behind starter Steve Young in 1967-68, and a knee injury put him behind sophomore Jimmy Jones in 1969. Although a back-up, Holmgren was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the eighth round (201st overall) of the 1970 NFL draft and went to camp with both the Cardinals and the New York Jets that year.

From 1982 to 1985, Holmgren was the quarterbacks coach at Brigham Young University under Lavell Edwards. During his four-year tenure at BYU, Holmgren (who is not Mormon) not only helped coach the team's potent offense to a national championship in 1984, but in that period mentored and developed two of BYU's future NFL quarterbacks: Steve Young, and Robbie Bosco; and one future NFL head coach, Andy Reid.

Under Mike Holmgren, BYU quarterback Robbie Bosco led the Cougars to a national championship in 1984, finished third in Heisman Trophy balloting and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1985.

In 1987 Holmgren would be quarterbacks coach with the San Francisco 49ers when the team traded its 2nd and 4th round draft picks to Tampa Bay for Steve Young, who by that time was considered to be an NFL bust. As a 49er, Steve Young was twice named NFL MVP in 1992 and 1994, Super Bowl XXIX MVP and inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005 (Though Young's MVP seasons came under offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan, not Holmgren).

In addition to mentoring quarterbacks at BYU, Holmgren also worked with Andy Reid, at the time a Graduate Assistant. Reid went on to become an offensive line coach at Holmgren's previous school, San Francisco State and would later re-join Mike Holmgren as Offensive Assistant Coach at Green Bay in 1992, quarterbacks coach and assistant coach in 1998 then become Head Coach of the Philidelphia Eagles in 1999.

One year prior to the beginning of Mike Holmgren's tenure as BYU quarterbacks coach, BYU quarterback Jim McMahon had been drafted by the Chicago Bears after his stellar performances in 1980 and '81. He led the Chigaco Bears to victory in Super Bowl XX vs New England then played for San Diego, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Arizona.

In 1995-96 McMahon and Mike Holmgren would meet in Green Bay. For his antics, McMahon was somewhat unpopular within the NFL, but Holmgren signed McMahon as a back-up quarterback to help mentor Brett Favre who lead the Packers to victory in 1996 Super Bowl XXXI.

On opposite sides of the field and with Andy Reid now serving as offensive assistant, Mike Holmgren would again meet Steve Young as Holmgren's Green Bay Packers eliminated Young and the San Francisco 49ers from the NFC playoffs in 1995, '96 and '97.

1998 would be Holmgren's last year as Packers head coach, Andy Reid's last year as Packers assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach as Steve Young led the 49ers to victory over the Packers in an NFC playoff game. Due to injury in the next season, it would also be Young's last full year as starting quarterback for the 49ers.

Assistant Coach

San Francisco 49ers, 1986-1991

Holmgren began his NFL coaching career as an assistant coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 1986 to 1991. He coached the 49ers’ quarterbacks from 1986-1988 under head coach Bill Walsh, working with Joe Montana and Steve Young, who he also coached at BYU. When George Seifert took over as head coach, Holmgren became the team's offensive coordinator and served from 1989 to 1991. During his tenure with San Francisco, the 49ers posted a 71-23-1 (74.7%) regular season record to reach the postseason each year except 1991, and won Super Bowl XXIII over the Cincinnati Bengals and Super Bowl XXIV over the Denver Broncos. As offensive coordinator in 1989, Holmgren's 49er offense was ranked number one in the NFL. His years with the 49ers have led to later success mentoring other young assistants and Holmgren is one of the larger branches of the Bill Walsh coaching tree.

Head Coach

Green Bay Packers, 1992-1998

Holmgren was head coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1992 to 1998, which became one of the most successful coaching stints in NFL history. As head coach of the Packers, Holmgren posted a 75-37-0 (67.0%) regular-season record, a 9-5 (64.3%) postseason mark, and two Super Bowl appearances, including a 35-21 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. By winning at least one game in five consecutive postseasons (1993-1997) Holmgren joined John Madden (1973-1977) as the only coaches in league history to accomplish the feat. Holmgren's Packers posted an NFL-best 48-16 (75.0%) record, finished first in the NFC Central Division three times, second once, and set a 7-3 mark in the playoffs between 1995 and 1998. By taking the Packers to six consecutive postseasons (1993-1998), Holmgren set a franchise record with a team that had had just two winning seasons in the 19 years before he was hired.
