Seeing as how Some idiot thinks that Norv will get in. How about I list every Head Coach with minimum 50 games coached. But, to show how pitiful this argument for Turner is. I will only list the ones who have losing records. I will start with the best winning percentage, and work my way down to the worst.
You won't see Tom Landry listed because he has a winning record, and already is in the Hall of Fame. Also if the Coach was a Hall of famer as a player. I will mention that.

Would you induct any of these coaches based on their winning percentage, or wins vs losses? Not what they did as players, or what they did as co-ordinators.
