Belichick Misses First-Ballot Hall Entry

Troy Aikman called the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process into question after at least 11 voters reportedly snubbed Bill Belichick despite his record six Super Bowl wins.

  • Earlier in the week, Troy Aikman criticized Hall of Fame voters after a report said at least 11 omitted Bill Belichick from ballots, prompting demand for accountability.
  • Belichick's résumé shows a 333-178 record as NFL head coach with six Super Bowl victories and two Super Bowl wins as Giants defensive coordinator.
  • While cautioning he wasn't singling anyone out, Aikman added he 'maybe had a senior moment' while criticizing the Hall of Fame voting process for omitting Belichick, comparing it to Brady or Manning not being first‑ballot.
  • With the Hall's reputation in question, Aikman said the snub is a 'big black eye' to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and warned this year's entrants might boycott the August induction ceremony.
  • Aikman asked if voters who can't remember their choices should serve, citing Bill Polian's 95% certainty about his vote, questioning voter accountability.
