Two coaches were getting into the NFL’s centennial Hall of Fame Class, one way or another. The newly formed “blue ribbon committee” would have the final say on the selection of those coaches.
The committee selected Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cowher, as the two coaching entries into the 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. The late Don Coryell, who was a finalist in 2019, misses out on the Hall of Fame again. This time, the window closing may be final.
Johnson and Cowher absolutely deserve enshrinement in Canton, but one has to wonder about what exactly went into the process of selecting them.
