00:00A nation that might be divided seems to be the one thing that's galvanized everyone.
00:03Just outrage over this decision.
00:05And here's what happened in the last 12 months.
00:08They changed the voting rules.
00:10A bit of a way where coaches could get in after one year after retirement.
00:14So one.
00:15Once Belichick was out of the NFL for one year and took this college job, he became eligible
00:18on the ballot.
00:19It typically...
00:20Basically they had to wait five years.
00:21And he's put into a separate group.
00:23This group is of like the senior...
00:25The senior committee people, which is players that have been off the ballot or have already
00:29surpassed...
00:30Passed the first initial round of it and then owners and coaches.
00:33So he's in a group with LC Greenwood.
00:35And Ken Anderson.
00:36And Roger Craig.
00:37And Robert Kraft.
00:38And voters had the opportunity to vote for...
00:40Up to three of those people.
00:42And he needed 40 of the 50 voters to vote for him.
00:45At least 10 voters did not vote for Bill Belichick on a first ballot.
00:50Process here.
00:51Meaning there are 10 or maybe more voters out there of the 50.
00:55who did not deem Belichick worthy of getting in first ballot.
00:58It's...
00:59The more times you...
01:00The more you say it, the more ridiculous it sounds.
01:02The more you say it, the more ridiculous it sounds.
