"Belichick did not receive the 40 of 50 necessary votes from the Pro Football Hall of Fame's selection committee to gain entry into Canton later this year, with the committee's voting results not made public."
""Well, it's out of my control," Belichick said. "And honestly, I've been very focused on my job at the University of North Carolina and the players and the university there. So, you know, whatever happens, happens. But I'm proud of what we accomplished as teams at New England and certainly at the Giants, and proud of those relationships. So that's what matters most.""
""I don't understand it. I was with him every day," Brady said during an appearance on Seattle sports radio show "Brock & Salk" earlier this year. "If he's not a first-ballot Hall of Famer then there's really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it.""
"Belichick was not named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility earlier this year. Despite winning eight total Super Bowls as a coach (six with New England, two with the New York Giants as a defensive coordinator), he was omitted by the selection committee."
Bill Belichick is focused on the future and on his current job at the University of North Carolina after not being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. He won eight Super Bowls as a coach, six with the New England Patriots and two with the New York Giants as a defensive coordinator. The selection committee did not give him the required 40 of 50 votes, and the voting results were not released. When asked about the snub, Belichick said he had no control over the outcome and highlighted pride in what his teams accomplished and the relationships formed. The omission prompted reactions from major athletes and former Patriots, including Tom Brady, who questioned the decision and argued Belichick should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
