Eli Manning "can't imagine a more deserving coach" for the Hall of Fame than Bill Belichick

Eli Manning expressed surprise after both he and Bill Belichick were not voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame by the selection committee. Manning, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the New York Giants and a modern-era finalist for the last two years, was particularly taken aback by Belichick's omission. Belichick, who has led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl victories and numerous AFC championships, is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. Despite their accomplishments, neither Manning nor Belichick secured a spot in the Hall of Fame this year.
