The list of names were released this morning.  I believe that all individuals selected were well derving, and some of whom were over due.  I like what the HOF did this year.  To celebrate the NFL's 100th Anniversary they decide to make the 2020 Class 20 individuals.  This is an one time event.    The 5 modern slections will be named before the Super Bowl.  I hoping that both Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt are selected.  The lindividuals on the Centennial Slate are listed below.

Coaches:

Billy Cowher

Jimmy Johnson

Nice to see Cliff Harris, a native Arkansan, made it in. OBU now has a Hall of Famer.

I don't think Johnson deserves it.  Two SB wins with a loaded roster but not much else.  

Happy for Carmichael.

I don't think commisioners should be eligible. 

I think it’s an absolute crime that Cliff Branch, Drew Pearson, L.C. Greenwood, Randy Gradishar, and Jim Marshall were all excluded.

I believe that I saw that Cowher and Johnson both made it over this past weekend during the NFL playoff games .

I agree with you.  A lot of good players weren't selected.  Maybe in the next few years they will be selected.  Starting next year the Committee will select 2 Senior Players, and 1 Contributor for selection.  The modern players and coaches will remain at 5.

Glad to see Mongo will get honored and will no longer be pawn in game of life.

I don't mind the individual choices, but the overall class seems way too big, even for 100th anniversary....how long will the induction ceremony be?

I am guessing several hours.  This was a one time thing.  The Hall of Fame wanted to do something special to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the NFL.  Next year the class size will go down to its usual 8.

I think I saw something about that group's induction will be sometime in September.
