Does anyone think that this years class was a little overblown, just because of the centennial celebration. That perhaps guys got in that didn't deserve to be in?
More are inducted this year than typical. It also is a different panel than typically votes for HOF voters. Take Bill Cowher for example. I'm glad he got in, obviously, I am a Pittsburgh guy. But Cowher was never even CLOSE to being inducted to the hall in previous votes.
Does this set some precedence for the future, for guys that normally wouldn't of got in, to get in. I understand its a different era. But by the numbers, there are 6-7 coaches now, that match Cowher, including Mike Tomlin and Sean Payton, who I don't believe are HOF coaches.
