Pro Football Hall of Fame cuts Super Bowl-winning coach and 24 others from selection committee, per report

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is significantly restructuring its enshrinement voting operations by slashing the selection committee from 50 members down to 28. Historically, the panel was composed of 32 representatives corresponding to each NFL franchise market, alongside 17 at-large selectors and a representative from the Pro Football Writers of America.

Over the past week, twenty-five electors have already been removed as part of this sweeping reduction.

Among the most prominent departures are enshrinees Tony Dungy, who guided Indianapolis to a Super Bowl victory in 2006, and Bill Polian, who served as the Colts' general manager for 12 campaigns. With their removal, Dan Fouts and James Lofton stand as the lone Hall of Fame inductees remaining on the downsized voting board.

The list of dropped committee members also features several veteran journalists, including Frank Cooney, John McClain, Rick Gosselin, Tony Grossi, and Ron Borges.
