A native of La Crescenta, Calif., Holmoe came to
BYU on a football scholarship in 1978. He became a starter as a
sophomore in 1980 and led the Western Athletic Conference with seven

Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Over a seven-year NFL career,
Holmoe played on three Super Bowl champions with the 49ers in 1984,
1988 and 1989.
After retiring from professional football, Holmoe
entered the coaching ranks, returning to BYU to serve as a graduate
assistant under LaVell Edwards from 1990-91. Holmoe then accepted an
offer from Bill Walsh to become the Stanford secondary coach in
1992, where he remained for two seasons. In 1994, he returned to the
49ers as defensive backfield coach for two seasons, where he earned
a fourth Super Bowl ring in 1994. Two years later Holmoe joined the
University of California staff as defensive coordinator and later
became the head coach of the Golden Bears from 1997-2001.
Holmoe graduated from BYU with a degree in zoology
