S
Don’t have to like the guy to see that this is insanely stupid
S
I hate the man, and I’d vote him in first ballot.
Y
He is wild enough to withdraw his name from future consideration. I’d love to see him do it. Hurts the HOF more than him.
W
Those petty assholes would just wait to vote him in posthumously
T
He should put it in his will that they can’t
E
> “Six Super Bowls isn’t enough?” Belichick asked an associate, referring to the championships he won as head coach of the New England Patriots. He won two more as defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. To another associate, he said, “What does a guy have to do?” > > Another source familiar with Belichick’s thinking said, “Politics kept him out. He doesn’t believe this is a reflection on his accomplishments.” It obviously is politics lmfao
D
Makes sense why he had to go coach UNC. The league basically blackballed him out, they fuckin hate him, lmao
P
Kraft was literally telling people not to hire him and then produced a hit piece documentary.
K
But why?
D
He was going to be the coach of the Falcons but Kraft told Blank not to hire him, and he didn’t get much of a chance anywhere else. Crazy that retreads like McCarthy get hired but nobody was willing to give BB another shot, even a shitty franchise.
A
Why did Kraft tell Blank not to hire him? Just petty or something else?
R
For the last 2+ years Kraft has been trying to shift the narrative from Belichick-Brady being the reason why the Patriots succeeded to being Kraft-Brady. He’s done a fantastic job as owner allowing for a winning culture to be created, but now he’s going too far trying to take more credit than he deserves.
T
so you’re saying kraft is too handsy with other people’s business?
G
He’s the only one allowed to have a happy ending
D
Because Kraft is insecure and doesn’t want to look like a clown by seeing BB succeed with another franchise. There’s been a lot of reporting done that he’s super insecure about not being HOF yet, and wants to accomplish things without BB to prove he deserves it. The whole documentary he produced about this run was basically “look at all the ways i contributed to this i was soooo important”.
Z
Til owners can be in the hof.
B
He kicked their asses for 25 years and wasn’t nice about it behind closed doors.
M
Because he’s a jerk. He did not make many friends around the NFL. He just whooped on them and then let them know they sucked. lol
A
So basically the NFL is a buncha bitches. Hated New England winning all the time, it wore most of us out, but come on.
B
The Patriots for **2 decades** were basically the embodiment of “git gud” Routinely, the failures in execution & lack of attention to detail that others would fail at: they wouldn’t. **Every** little detail they obsessed over & demanded excellence in. Where other coaches can’t squeeze even 1 year out of this from their team, Belichick pulled it off for **2 DECADES.**
A
“This year, Belichick was a finalist with Robert Kraft, his fellow co-architect of an NFL dynasty in New England.” i think we can connect the dots on who blocked belichick
E
Wait if kraft gets in this will be HILARIOUS
S
Tbh it really devalues the nfl HOF. And I’m not even exaggerating
B
Polian/whoever is responsible for influencing others should be out from the voter body as soon as possible if they want to maintain their legitimacy.
M
What a fucking joke 💀
S
Is this the biggest HOF snub in any sport ever? Kinda feel like it is.
P
100%. Belichick has 8 rings as a HC/DC. If he’s not a first ballot HoFer then no coach should be.
D
I remember a stat about how during the middle of the Pats dynasty, BB had coached or asst coached in 25% of all Super Bowls ever to that point. And then they went and won like 3 more.
E
thats fucking absurd
B
From 2001-2018, Belichick’s Patriots made the AFCCG 13 times, good for 72% of the time.
C
Close the fucking hall if this is true
J
Genuinely can’t think of anything else, the closest I can think of is Barry Bonds and that’s not even close to this
O
Bonds there’s legitimately an argument against, not this
G
There’s literally no argument for him not to be
S
Selection committee are all Jets fans?
L
There’s 50 people on the committee, do you really think there’s 50 Jets fans
S
You only need 25
D
11 actually. The threshold is 40, per the article
E
Really sucks as hes such a football historian and you know this is gonna crush him. This has to trigger a lot of people losing their votes. The literal GOAT coach.
B
You can’t even go by the different criteria ppl like to use He won rings as an assistant under parcells Won rings as head coach + GM . Led a dynasty for 2 decades AND you literally cannot tell the history of the NFL without him. What more do they need?
R
You know it’s bad when even diehard Jets fans like me who loathe Belichick with all my being agree that this is absolute bullshit.
T
This is a tragedy for the sport honestly regardless of who you root for
F
You could argue two different dynasties as head coach, and one as a defensive coordinator.
P
Every single person who voted against him should lose their vote. There is not a single good argument for keeping him out.
J
Complete fucking joke
P
So no coach is ever worthy of first ballot HoF then?
D
Believe it or not, Shedeur Sanders
D
He can’t keep getting away with this
H
Deion going to join the Browns for one season and go 4-13… then retire and get unanimous first ballot HoF and Shedeur will make the pro bowl again
F
I thought he and Andy were automatic this is insane
