A joke that he's not first ballot. Not sure what more he should have done as a hc.
Is Brady not going to be a first ballot too by this logic?
And, this is the corner that Polian and the rest of his whiny little bitch crew put themselves in:
1. Keep Brady from being a 1st ballot HoF
2. Or, Brady does get in as 1st ballot, and show the hypocrisy of it all
Again, this absolutely tarnishes the reputation of the HoF.
Those two options mean?
Talking about it again when Brady is up.
the NFL is going to hate that lol

I read something earlier from a HOF voter explaining the possible procedural reasons Belichick was kept out. A lot of them made some sense. I wish I could find it again to post, but I can't remember who the guy was. Most of them had nothing to do with his qualifications for being in HOF. Of course, Belichick should have been a first ballot HOF'er - and this guy agreed.
One thing I do remember was he pointed out that Head Coaches are eligible after one year, unlike players. Another one was voters can only vote for a certain number of candidates - meaning they can't vote for everyone they think should be in. He posited that some voters may have voted for guys who were in their last year of eligibility in lieu of Belichick, figuring Belichick was a sure-thing. I guess what I'm saying is a lot of the reasons he cited won't affect players like Tom Brady.
I'll keep looking for that post - it was on X - because it was pretty good and puts another perspective on this. He also said he expects changes in that procedural process because of this.
