Since it was announced that Bill Belichick would not be entering the Hall of Fame as a first-ballot nominee, there has been a search for who, why, and how this happened. "I did not vote AGAINST Bill Belichick, the longtime and accomplished head coach of that dynasty. "Deflategate also was brought up during the Belichick discussion, but there’s no erasing the stain of Spygate from his bio," Chappell wrote. Ending his statement, Chappell brought up that Belichick would almost assuredly get into the Hall of Fame next year. Belichick, on the other hand, might have a differing opinion from Chappell's claims.
