Posted Jan 27, 2026
Eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer. In voting this month, Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility. "Six Super Bowls isn't enough?" Belichick asked, referring to the championships he won as coach of the Patriots. (ESPN)
