Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Buddy Parker is one step closer to enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Parker was named a finalist Parker from a group of 12 worthy candidates remaining under consideration as the Finalist for next year’s class.
Parker would be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame if he receives at least 80% approval in the up-or-down balloting at that meeting to vote on the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024.
Parker was Pittsburgh’s head coach from 1957-1964, leading the team to its first winning season, a 7-4-1 mark in 1958.
