Giants legend Tom Coughlin passed over for Hall of Fame

Tom Coughlin Giants Hall New York Giants the Pro Football Hall of Fame Buddy Parker Football

Retired New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin will have to wait a little longer to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

On Wednesday, the Hall of Fame announced the one coach/contributor finalist for the Class of 2024, and it is former Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Buddy Parker.

Coughlin, a two-time Super Bowl champion as head coach of the Giants, was the first head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995 and quickly led them into contention.

Parker beat out a distinguished group of coaches/contributors, of which only one can go on to the final round to be considered for entry to the Hall.

Besides Coughlin, the group consisted of New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft; Steelers owner Art Rooney II; former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren; and two-time Super Bowl-winning Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan.

Frank “Bucko” Kilroy, Dan Reeves, Marty Schottenheimer, Clark Shaughnessy, Lloyd Wells, and John Wooten were the other candidates under consideration.
