Only one man in history can say he has won a championship as both a player and a coach of the Detroit Lions. In their long and ancient history, Raymond “Buddy” Parker stands alone—earning his first ring on the gridiron in 1936, and then two more as the Lions coach in the 50s. Now, he’s earning new respect. On Wednesday, Parker was selected as a Coach/Contributor Finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2024, placing him on the cusp of entry into Canton.
