It has been more than 24 hours since word first broke that Bill Belichick, the NFL’s all-time leader in Super Bowl titles and playoff wins among head coaches, will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer<\/a>. That has proven to be a bit controversial.<\/p>\n

Reactions to the news have skewed heavily toward outrage, from some of the biggest names of the football world and beyond<\/a>. Making the situation even more contentious is an opaque and complicated voting process that might have incentivized some voters to leave Belichick off their ballot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The decision to reject Belichick in his first year of eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame came down to the selection committee, a room of 50 people, all media members from diverse backgrounds with representatives from all 32-team media contingents. Some members have been respected reporters for decades. Some were Hall of Fame players and coaches themselves.<\/p>\n

For enshrinement, Belichick needed at least 80% approval (i.e. 40 voters). That means at least 11 people voted against him.<\/p>\n

There has been enough tension that the Hall of Fame released a statement Wednesday<\/a> hinting that any violation of its bylaws could lead to repercussions for voters, including removal from future committees. Belichick is not named in the statement.<\/p>\n
