Alex Zietlow Sportswriter for the Charlotte Observer

from WPTF Afternoon News

To the surprise of many, Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Belichick, the coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, came up short of induction in his first time on the ballot. That’s despite winning six World Championships as the head coach of the New England Patriots. Alex Zietlow of the Charlotte Observer joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss why Belichick came up short.
