But you have to admit, he's also incredibly deserving of the snub.
Also, the last few years have kind of exposed it was more Tom Brady than Bill. Tom won another Super Bowl, Bill has been awful w/o Tom, NE is back on top pretty quickly post Bill.
This is silly. Bill has been part of 10 SBs and it was well known that having the best QB of all time helps. BB is known as the best defensive coach of all time. TB went to another team already set up to win a SB as well. Its not just one or the other. Shall we keep all coaches out of HOF if they had a good QB? Silly.
Boooooooooo. The voters are just Butthurt because Bill lives the GF or roster only lifestyle. He's "dating" a 20-something at his age. W Bill. Have a great job and/or money, then watch how fast supposed flaws (AGE, height, body composition, etc.) won't matter to the majority of women. Bill has an extra card to play as well, fame. The voters would like to be doing the same thing but they can't, if they do and get caught their wives (LOL) will take everything or half of everything. If they leave their wives (LOL) then they will have to give up half or more. They are frustrated, they are mad, and they are taking it out on one of the GOATS Bill Belichick. Shame.
The reason given for why he wasn’t selected was because some of the voters were put off by the cheating incidents.
Its already been reported that is the reason. Crazy. lets see if they have the pelotas to keep TB off then?

OK. Lets see if these wimps keep TB12 out? 100% of the twittersphere is against this wimp move by the voters. Its just such an example of taking yourself too seriously. These voters are small people. Bill should accept the honor when the time comes and then tell them to shove it where the sun dont shine in his acceptance speech. If he did something so bad, akin to Pete Rose would he have not been banned from football?
Teams water down fields, don't cut the grass, open stadium doors when the other team kicks field goals...its all part of the fabric. Rubbin' is racin'. Who cares about deflated footballs.
Lets be honest, if the goal is simply to keep him off just the first ballot as some sort of "punishment", I don't recall anyone in football signing off on that. These voters have annointed themselves the saviors of football? I hate that even more.
I'm not sure what the big deal is. He'll get in the HOF. The importance of "first ballot" is overstated. I am not the biggest fan of Belichick but it has more to do with ancient history from when he was the coach of the Browns and not any cheating allegations, etc. That said, he is one of the best ever.
It is the same mindset that gave pro football the new and unwatchable “Sissy” Kickoff Rule, that made it possible for Bill Belichick to not be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Both are ridiculous and should be overturned!
According to ESPN, Belichick didn't get enough votes necessary to make the Hall of Fame due to his baggage in the NFL. ESPN reports that Belichick's roles in both Spygate and Deflategate kept him out on first try, as some voters may think Belichick should wait at least a year as some sort of punishment. "The only explanation [for the outcome] was the cheating stuff," a veteran Hall voter said, via ESPN. "It really bothered some of the guys." Additionally, the voting process for coaches is different than the process for players. Belichick is one of five owners, executives, coaches and players competing for up to three available spots separate from teh 15 modern-era finalists, forcing each voter to pick three of those five. Along with Belichick, the other four finalists include Patriots owner Robert Kraft, former quarterback Ken Anderson, former running back Roger Craig and former defensive end L.C. Greenwood. ESPN writer and Hall of Fame voter Mike Sando explained the difficult process of voting for these players, saying that they have an extremely high bar to clear.

I think that's just i. It doesn't have to be "first ballot HOF", but these small people, with too much power are purposely keeping the greatest coach of all time out of the HOF just because they can. I cant stand that wiring in people. They don't own the HOF. Just do your job.

He isn’t even close to the greatest coach of all time. He had the best QB of all time, and he was lucky enough to have that QB at a huge discount. An underrated aspect of Brady’s greatness was that his contracts were perpetually well below market value. He understood that long term, he’d do better taking a few less dollars.
If Mahomes was satisfied at ~$30 mill a year, he’d have better o-line and receivers and might not be hurt. Bill had no consistent success anywhere without Brady. Reid is by far a better coach, Shula was too, the cheater up in Denver probably better, Bill Walsh, probably a dozen more. Bill was good and delivered when given the best team and probably should eventually get in but he wasn’t the best ever and now he isn’t even good. He’s a shell of what he once was and completely bought into his own hype.

Belichick won 2 Super Bowls as Defensive Coordinator for the Giants before Brady entered the league.

What happened with the Browns? They probably didn’t have a whole lot of talent and he wasn’t the de facto GM like he was with the Patriots. After his success with the Patriots, that he coached the Cleveland Browns, is the answer to a trivia question.
You sheep need to wake up. Hall of Fame, All Star teams are created for sports talk radio to have something to talk about. Good thing we do not have this in real sports like athletics or european football.
He's personally unpleasant, a cheater, and involved in a ridiculous situation in NC with his ridiculous girlfriend. But the numbers for his career don't lie. Whatever people might think of him as a person or about collateral issues, he deserves to be in the HOF.

You mean except for things like the World Athletics Athlete of the Year, the Bowerman Award, the Gatorade National Track & Field Athlete of the Year, the USTFCCCA Coaches of the Year Award, and the US National Track and Field Hall of Fame?
