Tony Dungy stripped of Hall of Fame vote

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is in the midst of culling its 50-member committee of voters down to 28, a move seemingly made in response to Bill Belichick’s shocking snub in his first year of eligibility earlier this year.

Several of the names that missed the cut have already gone public. Houston’s John McClain received a call from the Hall informing him he’d no longer be part of the selection committee after 33 years of service. Later, Tennessee’s Paul Kuharsky revealed he was among those cut.

Now, Kuharsky has published a list of 19 of the 22 names that the Hall of Fame has informed would no longer be part of the selection committee under its new bylaws. Among those removed from the committee are Hall of Fame coach and former NBC Sports analyst Tony Dungy and ESPN reporter Lisa Salters, both of whom served as voters for six years.

Other notable names include longtime Dallas Cowboys writer Rick Gosselin, who spent a whopping 31 years on the selection committee, Cleveland radio personality Tony Grossi, who also served as a voter for 31 years, former NFL executive Bill Polian, a voter for six years, and Cleveland Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot, an 11-year selection committee member.

Below is the full list of the 19 known names removed from Hall of Fame voting, courtesy of Kuharsky:

Rick Gosselin
Frank Cooney
John McClain
Tony Grossi
Ron Borges
Darin Gantt
Clark Judge
Geoff Hobson
Jason Cole
Armando Salguero
Mary Kay Cabot
Matt Maiocco
Tony Dungy
Bill Polian
Lisa Salters
Joel Bussert
Paul Gutierrez
Rich Cimini
Paul Kuharsky

That leaves three Hall of Fame selectors that have also been removed, but are not yet known.

Per Kuharsky, among the 28 known to remain on the selection committee are Jim Trotter, Mike Sando, Charean Williams, Calvin Watkins, Gary Myers, Jeff Legwold, Ira Kaufman, Howard Balzer, and Vahe Gregorian. Notably, Gregorian acknowledged he did not vote for Belichick in his first year of eligibility, instead prioritizing the senior candidates in the Seniors/Coach/Contributor category that Belichick was in.
 
If every single one of the voted no on Bill Belichick, then they deserve to have their rights stripped.

Great job by whoever decided to do this.

So the HoF is largely decided by media idiots who only half know what they're looking at?

Definitely tracks.

John McClain is a great football writer.

In fact, at one point he was the head of the writer's association if I'm not mistaken.

Living in Houston, I've heard the guy talk football countless times and I really appreciate and respect his knowledge.

But that's also why I'm surprised and disappointed that he was one of the voters who voted against Belichick.

I thought if anyone understood what the privilege of voting entailed, it would be him.
