even with new set of 25 (+3) voters, 25 of whom served on previous committee, it is a far "younger" panel of writers most of whom have covered game since 1990s or more recently, and none are historians-expecting them to support any scout or GM type from pre 1990 - over a player on same bal...

We all know who it will be, yet its also a chance for Holmgren to probably be the next in line, though if Tomlin were to stay out for 2027 -- though doubtful -- he could be the next first year eligible to correct the mistake of Belichick missing out. It would be bizarre, but with both in, the proce...

starting new topic here to post news in the coming months, right up to the announcement of the class of 2027 during NFL Honors Show, Thurs Feb 11th and from today... 5 Coach Nominees advance for Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2027 (Hall announcement today) Group to meet Nov. 17 to choose 1 Candi...
