PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WKBN) – Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Buddy Parker has moved one step closer to being enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He is one of 12 coaches to advance from a list of 15 nominees for the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 Coach Category.
Parker spent eight seasons as the Steelers’ head coach from 1957-64, posting a record of 51-47-6. His time in Pittsburgh came after stints with the Chicago Cardinals (1949) and Detroit Lions (1951-56). He owns a career coaching record of 104-75-9.
A voting process will be held later this month to reduce the list to nine semifinalists, with those results to be announced in early November.
A committee will meet virtually in mid-November and through a sequence of reduction votes will select one finalist for the Class of 2026.
