He will have to get in based on his SB wins. I am guessing the hesitation comes in when you see what his teams have accomplished when they didn't have Tom Brady on them.

Overall NFL head coaching record without Brady: Approximately 83-104 (regular season and playoffs combined)

He was 4-8 in his only HCing role in college.

That is pretty ugly for a HOF coach. I still believe he will get in at some point.
I saw a tweet from one of the voters (says she voted for Belichek) where she explains that there are 2 ballots, one for recently retired players and one for coaches, contributors (like owners and GM's), and seniors - players from more than 25 years ago. The ballot Bellichek was on is the 2nd one and the voters are only allowed to vote for 3 of the 5 names on this ballot, so it is harder to get the 80% vote because they may think Belichek deserves to be in but they only get 3 votes and may like someone else better. She said some voters always favor the former players and there are 3 on each ballot. Still, I'm sure some voters were "punishing" Belichek and it certainly gave the media something to talk about.

ps. Brady will be on the recently retired players ballot where voters will pick 5 from 7 names and also has to get 80%.

This radical who was not a nurse, rather a profession “protester” to be very generous was trying to get killed. Destroying government property and then bringing a loaded gun at a later date. No sympathy here which will upset the weak.
