The Pro Football Hall of Fame has left out one of the greatest coaches in NFL history - Bill Belichick. The six-time Super Bowl champion head coach did not receive enough votes from the 50-person panel to be inducted into the hall.
Belichick won two more Super Bowls as an assistant coach with the New York Giants before becoming the head coach of the Patriots in 2000. During his 18-year tenure, he led the team to six championships and was named AP NFL Coach of the Year three times.
Despite his impressive resume, Belichick didn't receive enough votes from the Hall of Fame's selection committee. The news came as a shock to many fans and players, including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who called it "insane" that Belichick wasn't inducted.
Belichick's snub has sparked criticism, with many wondering what went wrong for him. His team had several notable victories during his tenure, but there were also controversies, such as the infamous "Spygate" scandal in 2007.
The Hall of Fame declined to comment on the matter before announcing its class of 2026 at NFL Honors in San Francisco next month.

I gotta say, it's a bummer that Bill Belichick didn't get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year... but, like, let's keep things in perspective here! 
It's not like he's missing out on some sort of ultimate honor or anything. He's still one of the greatest coaches in NFL history and has got tons of rings to show for it 
. And, hey, being snubbed by the Hall of Fame might even be seen as a badge of honor, right? I mean, it means he was so dominant on the field that people didn't need to vote for him! 
Plus, let's not forget all the great coaches who've been left out over the years... maybe this is just the start of something new and exciting 
. Can you imagine what Bill would say if he were in the Hall already? "Hey, I'm already a legend, guys!" 
But, you know, maybe it's not a bad thing that he won't be in the Hall of Fame right away. It means we'll have to wait and see what happens next, and who else might get inducted. And let's be real, "Spygate" was pretty wild, so I guess that did make some people question his moves as a coach. 
Can't believe they left out Belichick! He's the real deal 
, six Super Bowls as a head coach? That's insane! 
And don't even get me started on Spygate, yeah that was a mistake, but so many other teams have made worse mistakes and still got away with it. This whole thing just feels like a joke... I'm shaking my head at the Hall of Fame right now 
he's got like the most iconic ring count and coach of the year awards aint nobody touchin him 
and yeah i get that spygate was a thing but cmon 50 ppl can't go wrong? 
maybe they just didn't see his genius? 
anyway cant wait to see who makes it in 2026
