Jimmie Johnson - HOF

Tom Flores is not in the HOF I believe.

The fact guys like Seifert and Flores are not in the HOF makes me scratch my head.

Flores won a Superbowl as a player, as an assistant coach and twice as a HC...... only other guy to do it ....Mike Ditka
He was the first Hispanic QB, he was the first minority HC to win a Superbowl.... he belongs to umpteen number of other HOF groups and the winner of Roberto Clemente award
He made it to be a GM and President for Seattle before returning to coaching..
The guy is now in his 80's and it will be a shame if he is not celebrated before his death. He was broadcasting colour commentary up until last year...
What else does this guy have to do to get recognition ??????

Seifert kept that San Fran organization hitting on all cylinders for years....... 2 Superbowls.. to his credit
Carolina had one brutal year .... but he should be one of the next for consideration
 
I just don't think JJ is a hall of fame guy. he was with Dallas for 4 or 5 years and Miami for 3 or 4 years. he won 2 super bowls with a stacked team. not hall of fame worhy

He took over a 1-15 team and made key traded. As a coach he won with the players he drafted. Absolutely HOF worthy.

What coach with 2 super bowl wins isn’t on the hall of fan?

No need to sell Cowher short. He took a team to six straight playoff appearances to start his career, won the division 53 percent of the time, and made the AFC Championship game in 40 percent of his seasons. Add in that he along with Capers and LeBeau ran a dominant defense nearly the entire time and helped draft, coach and develop numerous Hall of Fame players or all-time great Steelers.
 
Modern Era Coaches in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

George Allen is the 12th modern-era head coach elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As coach of the Los Angeles from 1966-1970 and the Washington Redskins from 1971-1977, he compiled a 118-54-5 record for a winning percentage of .681. He never had a losing record in his 12 seasons as a head coach in the National Football League. Here's a look at the other head coaches enshrined in Canton.

Paul Brown - 1946-62 Cleveland Browns, 1968-75 Cincinnati Bengals - Overall record: 222-112-9, .660 - A revolutionary innovator, he suffered only one losing season in 17 years as a head coach of the Browns. Elected to the Hall of Fame before his tenure with Bengals.

Sid Gillman, Class of 1983Sid Gillman - 1955-59 Los Angeles Rams, 1960-69, 1971 San Diego Chargers, 1973-74 Houston Oilers - Overall Record: 123-104-7, .541 - Recognized as one of the leading authorities on passing tactics. He was the first coach to win divisional titles in both the NFL and AFL.

I believe you have to stack up resume against current HOF coaches. Coach Bill’s record does not look too bad.

Cowher finished his career with a 161-99-1 record, including postseason, for a .619 winning percentage.

Nice post. Only FOUR HOF coaches with higher winning percentage.
