It isn’t a matter of if Bill Belichick is a Hall of Famer.
The answer is obviously yes.
However, Belichick will not make it on the first ballot.
And, to me, that is absurd.
News from ESPN’s collection of newsbreakers:
Bill Belichick, the 8-time Super Bowl-winning HC, is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, per @SethWickersham and @DVNJr. Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. t.co/ooJutI0C0Q

Reporting from ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham, who have details on Bill Belichick falling short of the necessary votes to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot:
In voting earlier 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, four sources with firsthand knowledge of the outcome told ESPN. Belichick received a call from a Hall representative last Friday afternoon with the news that he won’t be inducted into the Hall in Canton, Ohio, this summer.
Several sources who spoke with the coach over the weekend described Belichick as “puzzled” and “disappointed” by his inability to secure support from at least 80% of Hall committee members.
In fairness to Bill Belichick, I’d be “puzzled” and “disappointed” by this development. I’d also have some other few choice words that aren’t suitable for print. Belichick is a Hall of Fame coach. And his résumé screams first-ballot Hall of Famer:
Six Super Bowls (plus two more as the New York Giants defensive coordinator) Nine conference championships 302 regular-season wins 31 postseason winsIt is absolutely bonkers to think that Bill Belichick isn’t a first-ballot Hall of Fame coach. And yet, that is the 8-time Super Bowl champion’s reality.
