Bill Belichick coaches the New England Patriots for the final time in a game against the New York Jets on Jan. 7, 2024, in Foxborough, Mass. Bill Belichick is one of the most successful coaches in NFL history. ESPN broke the news Tuesday that Belichick won’t be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. This has to be some knock-off Hall of Fame or something, it can’t be the actual NFL Hall of Fame. Ain’t no WAY Bill Belichick ain’t 1st Ballot HOF!!
