When I think of potential future Seahawk HOFers, the names that first come to mind are:
--Walter Jones
--Mike Holmgren
--Shaun Alexander
Personally speaking, I think Jones is a lock, and if the Seahawks can win it all (odds against, but possible) in the next 2 years, I think Holmgren will also be a lock. As for Alexander, I'm undecided, though he will put up great career stats.
Then there's Tez. Does he have a shot? Does he derserve it when compared to other defensive tackles who've made it in the last 20 years or so?

I think Holmgren should be a near lock when he decides to retire. I think his development of so many quarterbacks will play a big role in that decision, not just his W/L and title(s).
As far as Cortez the guy was a rock. He was one of (the only?) thing that made some of those Hawk teams worth spending a Sunday watching.

Mike sure has to be close:
Been to 3 Superbowls, 1-2 in them.
Been to playoff 11 out of the 14 years he been a HC.
won 159 games.
Honestly if he were able to guide a team to atleast making it to one more superbowl or get to near 200 wins Id say he's a lock.
Walter Jones id reckon should be a lock as well, hes been in the league like 11 years and probowl 8 of them.
Alexander kind of the wild card, since running backs for the most part tend to wear down. He already holds Seahawks all time rushing and TD records, at 8,713 yards and 102 TDs. ITs quite realistic for him to crack 10,000 yeards and 120 TDs in next couple seasons. Which gives him more TD's then the likes of Berry Sanders, Eric Dickerson Tony Dorsett (to name a few).

Agreed. I really don't know if there's much more to add. He went to seven Pro Bowls and he has the stats to back it up. I can only imagine what his stats would look like if he had a little help on the line and a decent team supporting him at the time.

I suppose it might be beneficial to look at rushing yeards allowed too since he clogged the middle fairly effectively. Imagine what this team would look like now if we had a young healthy 'Tez anchoring the middle...
Holmgren should be a lock. His role in the 49er dynasty while taking two different teams to the Super Bowl as a head coach sets him apart from other coaches.
Alexander? Who knows...he needs to have some solid seasons in the next 2-3 year without Hutch IMO. If he stays healthy, he has a shot.
