I may sound bitter, but I also believe that Kraft supporters got their voices heard by voting down Buddy Parker. Kraft will now go in next year, with Belichick out of coaching and hopefully, Parker gets his chance back in 2026. Sorry RichardBak, first the damn championship game, now Parker being dismissed by voters who obviously cared less about a summer voting process than the OTHER voters who helped make these former players have a chance at final election, possible.

I expect Powell to get another chance, but this could definitely screw things up for seeing any more AFL/AAFC guys ever getting nominated again, at least until they can push Powell through. Parker was nominated in an off year for coach/contributor, so this could have been his best chance...

Very true I wonder if that also happened with powell with voters not being familiar with him
