The Pro Football Hall of Fame reduced the waiting period for NFL coaches from 5 to 1 year.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has revised its bylaws regarding NFL coaches, reducing the waiting period for coaches to be considered after retiring from the game from five years to just one year. This change may impact Bill Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach of the New England Patriots, who will now be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2026, rather than 2029. The alterations also mean that other renowned coaches, such as Pete Carroll, could potentially be considered for induction sooner.
