Dick Vermeil is sounding off about an NFL scandal that has fans shaking their heads: Bill Belichick, one of the most successful coaches, is shockingly missing from the Hall of Fame. Vermeil, a Hall of Famer himself, claims he feels guilty sharing that honor while the Patriots’mastermind remains unrecognized. He argues the new voting system is leaving legendary coaches out in the cold, while star players breeze through the selection process.
In his candid interview, Vermeil didn’t stop there. He pointed out that names like Mike Holmgren, Mike Shanahan, and Tom Coughlin should also be celebrated rather than left out, suggesting the current focus on player recognition is overshadowing equal respect for coaching legends. What’s even crazier is how Vermeil dismissed the ongoing controversies surrounding Belichick, reassuring everyone that such things have existed throughout football’s history.
Looking at all of this, it’s clear that if the Hall of Fame can’t find a way to include someone like Belichick, it might have a serious credibility issue on its hands. After all, if we’re talking about the greatest coach of all time, shouldn’t he have a spot in Canton?
