Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Dungy is overrated. Could have used some of you guys in a few of those other threads.

I just hope he coaches again, and soon.

His "TV guy smile" is downright creepy.

i think he is overrated as well. he could not get it done in TB, Grundy won a SB with Dungy's players. There is a reason Indy has won 10+ games and made the playoffs all these years, Manning

Not sure that Manning even needs a HC to win 10+ a year.

And he is a horrible tv host. He is obviously biased about some teams.

I think the mark of a truly great manager (regardless of profession) is how well that organization succeeds AFTER the person leaves. Obviously, Dungy gets high marks here as well.

Saying that Manning is undefeated since Dungy retired and Tampa Bay won the SB after Dungy left as if they're some sort of knock against Dungy is ridiculous. George Seifert has the 2nd best winning percentage of any modern NFL coach. Tell me, does that make Bill Walsh's accomplishments LESS impressive, or MORE impressive?

Can't Dungy and Belichick both be great coaches?

They can, and they are.

I think that's a bigger mark of the team and staff and less of the manager. Imo. Dungy is one lucky guy. Monte Kiffin and Peyton Manning basically carried his entire career. Kind of like Cowher and LeBeau.

Could Dungy have made the Detroit Lions a winner when he left Tampa Bay with Matt Millen as GM?If the answer is yes, then I would nominate Dungy as the best NFL coach of all time. Being a great coach is about timing and players. Dungy knew in Indy he could not fail with Manning. Gruden came into a good situation in TB. I highly doubt either one of these guys would be highly touted if they were in Cleveland and Detroit.

Most good coaches are smart enough to know now not to take a head coaching job for either of those terrible franchises.

Or Shanahan and Elway. Or Belichick and Brady. Or Walsh and Montana. Or Jimmy Johnson and Herschel Walker.
