Jimmy Johnson was furious on Wednesday, and it had nothing to do with anything going on in his football life.
Instead, the guy who won a national championship at the college level at Miami and 2 more Super Bowl titles with the Dallas Cowboys was angry because Bill Belichick got left out of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. The ESPN report on Tuesday regarding Belichick’s exclusion from the Hall of Fame has set off a firestorm of criticism of the Hall of Fame itself, and Johnson, a 2020 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was at the center of that storm.
Johnson went on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday to air those frustrations regarding Belichick, who won 6 Super Bowl titles as a head coach and 2 more as an assistant. The 73-year-old Belichick isn’t quite done with his coaching life, as the current head coach at North Carolina, but Johnson believes Belichick should be getting rewarded immediately for what he did at the professional level.
Instead, Belichick reportedly did not get the 40 votes that were needed for induction, for whatever reason, with the New England Patriots’ Spygate and Deflategate scandals likely the culprit for keeping Belichick out in his first year of eligibility.
Whatever it was, Johnson doesn’t agree.
“I think this tarnishes everything in the Hall of Fame, all of the inductees, everybody in the Hall of Fame, just because of 10 or 11 or 12 ignorant, jealous assholes who didn’t vote for (Belichick),” Johnson said to the guys on the McAfee show.

— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) January 28, 2026Belichick will almost assuredly be inducted into the Hall of Fame next year, but apparently his total past together with all of those titles caught up with him in his first Hall of Fame go-around, and so he’ll have to wait another year.
Johnson just doesn’t believe he should have to.
