Vermeil and Carmichael nominated for HOF

[Birdwatcher]

They are part of the extra induction group that is being added for the 100th anniversary of the league. IMHO, they both deserve it.

I agree that Carmichael absolutely deserves to get in. As for Vermeil, I'm a bit iffier: Only 2 of the following will get in:

COACHES (8 FINALISTS) - Coaches who last coached more than five seasons ago

Don Coryell - 1973-77 St. Louis Cardinals, 1978-1986 San Diego Chargers

Bill Cowher - 1992-2006 Pittsburgh Steelers

Tom Flores - 1979-1987 Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, 1992-94 Seattle Seahawks

Mike Holmgren - 1992-98 Green Bay Packers, 1999-2008 Seattle Seahawks

Jimmy Johnson - 1989-1993 Dallas Cowboys, 1996-99 Miami Dolphins

Buddy Parker - 1949 Chicago Cardinals, 1951-56 Detroit Lions, 1957-1964 Pittsburgh Steelers

Dan Reeves - 1981-1992 Denver Broncos, 1993-96 New York Giants, 1997-2003 Atlanta Falcons

Dick Vermeil - 1976-1982 Philadelphia Eagles, 1997-99 St. Louis Rams, 2001-05 Kansas City Chiefs


I think Cowher and his long run in Pitt with Super Bowls is deserving. The other spot is tougher, but I'd probably go with Holmgren given his success, longevity, and coaching tree.

when you look at the names on the list of coaches.

Don Coryell is why this list was made most likely,,after that its a crap shoot, Most names are deserving, don't know about Reeves, he got punked a lot.

Harold was clearly undervalued by the writes ect...He changed the position of Wr into what we see on a sunday basis,,Harold IS A HOF er as far as I'm concerned....get him in!
