Holmgren to be inducted into Packers Hall of Fame

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Former Green Bay Packers Coach Mike Holmgren will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame this summer.

The 63-year-old is currently the team president for the Cleveland Browns.

Holmgren was hired in 1992 and led the Packers to a 75-37 regular-season record in seven years. The seven consecutive winning seasons remains the longest such streak in team history since the 1970s.

Former Green Bay Packers President Bob Harlan says Holmgren brought to the Packers a great offensive mind and leadership ability. He says he also knew how to control Brett Favre, which wasn't always easy to do.
