The members of the 50-person selection committee can vote for three of the finalists, and the candidates need 80% of the vote to be inducted. If no candidate receives 80% of the vote, the top vote-getter gets elected, meaning at least one person will get inducted.

No more than three candidates will be inducted from the group of five, as only three can get the requisite 80%. 

Belichick was hired by Kraft in 2000 and led the franchise to six Super Bowl titles and three other appearances in the title game during an 18-year span from 2001 to 2018. Belichick’s 333 wins in the regular season and playoffs with the Patriots and Cleveland Browns are the second most behind Don Shula’s 347. He won AP NFL Coach of the Year three times.
