3. I'm not a fan of the HOF format. To me, voters that skip over someone who is deserving so that they can help a borderline candidate get in is complete bullshit.

Perhaps it should be that the top 5 vote getters should get in regardless of their percentage.

1. I use to agree with this sentiment. But, let's say a coach coaches until he's 74 and then dies before he can be inducted into the HOF. IMO, that would be heartbreaking for his family and unfair to him.

2. Chicken and egg, will be debated forever.

3. Agreed it's the dumbest format ever, and keeps deserving nominees out of the HOF.

Bear Bryant died one month after he coached his final game, in January of 1983.

Players' careers are relatively finite, but coaches (as you pointed out) are different.

We are not talking about rare instances. We are talking about the law of averages.

Law of averages? So how many coaches died less than 5 years after retirement but fortunately made the HOF after that 1 year and were able to enjoy the honor?

At no time did I say 1 year after. I only said before he could be inducted to the HOF. Since we only have 4 1st ballot HOF coaches, who knows how long that could be?

Probably not a great loss.
