Bill Belichick has been named as one of five coaching candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2027, marking another appearance on the finalist list for the legendary NFL coach. The announcement came Thursday from the Hall of Fame's selection committee.
Belichick, who won six Super Bowls during his 24-season tenure with the New England Patriots, previously appeared on the coaching finalist list. The other four candidates were not disclosed in the initial announcement by the Associated Press.
The Hall of Fame's selection committee will meet ahead of Super Bowl LXI to vote on the final inductees. A minimum of 80% approval is required for election. Results are typically revealed during the NFL Honors ceremony the week of the Super Bowl.
