Bill Belichick among five coaches nominated for Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Coaches Subcommittee has announced five nominees for the 2027 induction class: Bill Belichick, Tom Coughlin, Dan Reeves, Mike Shanahan, and Mike Holmgren. The subcommittee is scheduled to meet on November 17 to select one candidate to be presented to the full voting committee.

Bill Belichick, who previously faced a high-profile snub, is seeking induction after winning six Super Bowls as head coach of the New England Patriots and serving as a defensive coordinator for the New York Giants. The other nominees include former New York Giants head coaches Tom Coughlin and Dan Reeves. Coughlin led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles between 2004 and 2015, while Reeves was one of only 13 coaches in NFL history to reach 200 career wins.
