The Pro Football Hall of Fame will honor long-time Patriots assistant coach Dante Scarnecchia, as one of 17 recipients for its Awards of Excellence.
Scarnecchia spent over 30 years coaching in the NFL, the majority of those as an assistant coach in New England. He was a staple on Bill Belichick’s staff as an offensive line coach while also holding the assistant head coach label from 2000-13.
During his time in New England, Scarnecchia was a key part of a coaching staff that won five Super Bowl titles. He is largely considered as one of the greatest position coaches in NFL history and now rightfully earns recognition in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
