Fans of Mike Holmgren, who after 10 seasons stepped down as head coach for the Seahawks recently, will be excited to hear he'll be getting some TV time, providing pregame analysis of the upcoming Super Bowl. Talkin' Hawks reports Holmgren and Tony Dungy, recently retired head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, will join NBC's pregame coverage of Super Bowl XLIII, which begins at 9 a.m. PT on Sunday, Feb. 1. Combined, the two NFL head coaches have won two Super Bowl rings and reached four Super Bowls, and their insights should be riveting. "What I learned is that in addition to their obvious Super Bowl credentials, Mike and Tony share extraordinary storytelling ability," said Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics and Executive Producer of NBC's Super Bowl broadcast. "I'm sure viewers will enjoy their unique perspective and insights as Super Bowl coaches."
Cool! We could care less about the two teams who made it to the Super Bowl, but Mike Holmgrem is definitely a good reason to watch some of the coverage.
