Syracuse Football: Tom Coughlin, Dwight Freeney merit Pro Hall of Fame

This weekend, I saw that former Syracuse football player and NFL head coach Tom Coughlin is among 29 semifinalists in the “coach/contributors” category for a chance to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

As noted in the cuse.com article I found, this is separate from the players list that former Syracuse football defensive end Dwight Freeney was on.

And while I admit that I’m a Syracuse homer 99 percent of the time, both men earned this honor and deserve to be in. The nominations are an honor but I truly think both men deserve to be in Canton, Ohio, in 2024.
