I wouldn’t have voted for Belichick, but not for the reasons that you might think. The Chiefs voter actually gave a breakdown of why he didn’t vote for Belichick. It was because there were five or six names and you could only vote for three. They included guys like Roger Craig, Ken Anderson, Robert Kraft. There is also a factor of some of these guys losing ballot status next year if they didn’t get enough votes. So this wasn’t just some kind of top to bottom vote. It was a little more complicated. I respect that he explained his reasoning and said he wasn’t voting against Belichick. He was just voting within the guidelines on what he thought was the vote. Sounds like this was probably the case with quite a few few of these ballots that omitted him. I think you should just vote for the person you think is most deserving but that’s another story.
The reason I wouldn’t vote for him is because he’s mixed in with players and I would’ve voted for all the players before I vote for a coach. That’s just the way that I see things and I’ve been kind of consistent about this.
Coaches should have a different process from players. Belichick should be in the Hall of Fame obviously.
