Why these Pro Football Hall of Fame finalists should be inducted in 2024
HC Buddy Parker
Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports
Contributor/coach finalist
Resume: Chicago Cardinals (1949) Co-head coach; Detroit Lions (1951–56) Head coach; Pittsburgh Steelers (1957–1964) Head coach
Parker fits as both a contributor and a head coach. He led the Detroit Lions to three straight NFL Championship games, winning the title in 1952 and 1953. He’s one of only two coaches to win consecutive NFL championships that isn’t in the Hall of Fame. In 15 years as a head coach, Parker had winning records in 13. He led those Lions to titles by innovating the game with the hurry-up offense. In that era, going up-tempo and throwing the ball quickly on short passes was almost unheard of, but Parker used it as a primary scheme–one that is still used heavily 70 years later. That lasting legacy is worthy of enshrinement. – Jeff Risdon, Lions Wire

Under the circumstance of the Lions losing to the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, it would be a great way to close the Lions 2023 season if Buddy Parker is elected to the Pro Football HOF.

Former Steelers Coach Buddy Parker Snubbed From Hall Of Fame Spot
....
Horrible decision by the NFL HOF Committee. Those that voted against the recommendation of NFL Senior Committee for Buddy Parker and Art Powell to be voted into the Pro Football HOF don't belong on the NFL HOF Committee.
The news of Buddy Parker not being voted into the Pro Football HOF last night reminds me of when Lions G Dick Stanfel wasn't voted in, despite the Senior Committee recommending Stanfel be voted in. Sadly, Stanfel passed away before he eventually was voted into the HOF.
