Coy Bacon is finally getting his gold jacket and the recognition for his incredible 26 sack season that he earned so long ago. My heart is full knowing that this legend will take his rightful place among the greats. We kept the pressure on until they had no choice but …
Target: The National Football League and The Professional Football Hall of Fame
Background (Preamble):
Mr. Lander McCoy "Coy" Bacon born August 30, 1942 ,Coy attended Jackson State College for two years and was a member of the famed Los Angeles Rams

during his 14 year career. During the 1976 season he set the
single season sack record of 26 sack. Between 1968 and 1981 Coy
played for the Rams, Chargers, Bengals, and Redskins.

We, the undersigned, call on the National Football League, Commissioner
Roger Goodell, and the Professional Football Hall of Fame, Hall
of Fame President Steve Perry and the Senior Selection Committee to induct Mr. Coy Bacon into the Professional Football Hall of Fame and for the official recognition of his

I grew up watching Coy Bacon dominate the field and his exclusion from Canton is a personal slight to his incredible legacy. We are almost at one hundred signatures so please send this to another fan who remembers his 26 sack season. If we reach this milestone it shows the committee that his accomplishments cannot be ignored any longer.

I knew Coy after football. He was a good role model to kids. He would go around to all the schools and talk to kids about saying no to drugs. He was a great man and with his accomplishments on the field he deserves to be in the hall of fame.

Coy was a great NFL player and deserves to be in the hall of fame. His sack record also deserves to be recognised.

Bacon was the most dominant pass rusher of his era, and yes, he holds the single-season sack record.
