Maybe, what about Brian Billick? He's won a Super Bowl and at times been considered both a genius and an idiot by fans and media. Or maybe just Chuckie and Dungy would work. That is what got you thinking in the first place.
This is a part of my thinking. Gimme someone who has done it.
Feel like dancing with Barry Switzer?
The Bucs are 23-30 since the Super Bowl(I think that's right, off the top of my head). The colts are 44-14(same top of the same head). You really think one post season run makes that much differince?
In a word, YES!Feel like dancing with Barry Switzer?
This is only useful, of course, if a lesser skilled coach that has won a Super Bowl is more likely to win a second than a greater skilled coach that has not won a Super Bowl. I don't know if this is true, and I don't believe it to be the case.
I really do believe Dungy can get us there.
Marc, the funny thing is that when I mentioned I was ready for Dungy to go in another thread, I got blasted. I know there is no chance the Colts take Dungy out with his winning percentage. But, he is not the answer for the Colts to get to the SB.I knew this poll would bear out my thinking. But it will obviously be for naught. Maybe Dungy will decide to retire and move back to Tampa. With his younger son getting to the age where he needs more involvement from Tony, I think it would serve Tony well to be there for him in light of what happened to his other son.
With all the salary cap issues the Bucs D is still very good. And at the risk of being extremely disingenuous again, the Bucs are still pretty old when it comes to impact players. Galloway. Brooks, Rice, McFarland, Quarles, Barbar, Kelly, Alstott; just to name some. The Bucs have lost some players but I would not call them "remade". There are still many of the stars from that Super Bowl team playing in Tampa. Besides Galloway and Caddy, who can the current administration take credit for? The offense might be remade, but it was never the offense that won games for the Bucs to begin with. They have a great looking young RB that has problems staying healthy, a soon to be 35 year old WR that found the fountain of youth somewhere down there, and couple of young QBs that have some promise. Am I missing anyone? This is the Gruden "remade" offense?
I mentioned Fisher in the other thread. I was thinking at the game Sunday, that it would be nice if the 2 coaches coulda swapped sidelines. It seems Fisher always outcoaches Dungy!!!
This is extremely disingenuous. Gruden took over an older team that was heading directly into salary-cap hell, and had to be remade (with little to no premium draft picks the first few years) -- Dungy went and took over a ready-made yearly SB contender that had probably the best QB of this generation (or second-best) and talent all over the place.Dungy had multiple shots to win the SB with the Bucs in the late 90s/early 00s -- with maybe one of the best defenses in the past 20-30 years. Other than 1999, he never got close.Wadsworth said:
Dungy has directed the colts to a 53-16 record in the regular season in 4 full years and the start of this one. He is only the 6th coach to win 100 games in the first ten years as a head coach. Among active coaches with 50+ regular season victories his winning percentage ranks only behind Gibbs. Dungy is the only Nfl head coach to defeat all 32 teams. Pizzatime Dungy is the right coach to lead the colts now and in the future.
Not into the playoffs. This is his defense that the offense continues to overcome. He walked into the best situation he could have. Who wouldn't have won the same number of games with the Colts during this era of Peyton Manning?It's all about playoff wins! Dungy doesn't cut the mustard.
I disagree..Dungy sucks. can't win a big game..has potential to be a great coach, and he is a great regular season coach, but one of the worst post season coaches..what is his post season record now, 5-8? It is ironic that the first year that Gruden steps into TB HC job, he wins the SB..interesting..Gruden is, by FAR , the best of the three..he's also won SB's as an assistant ...what has dungy done that is anything worth noting? so the Colts score more than anyone, were undefeated for most of last year, he got beat in the playoffs, AGAIN..he's a great regular season coach, but if we're talking about coaches in games that MATTER MOST ( playoffs/SB's) , Dungy is a chump.
And what happened to Gruden's former team the first year Gruden was gone? They made it to the SuperBowl. Did they ever make it to the Super Bowl under Gruden? No. So by your logic Gruden gets credit for taking Dungy's former team to the Super Bowl, and Dungy get the shame because he never did it. So Bill Callahan is a better coach than Gruden? You judge a coach by his entire body of work, not just what he did in one season. Gruden did good work in Oakland and won a Super Bowl his first year in Tampa. He's proven himself a good NFL coach. But how does that make Dungy a chump?
This is incorrect, IMO.Monte Kiffen's Defense has been one of the most consistent in the history of the NFL. They finish in the top 10 every year. The defense in 2002 was no better than the previous 7 years, or the next few years.The difference in 2002 was the offense....Gruden completely controlled all 3 playoff games with a successful running and controlled passing game.Dungy was never able to figure out how to compliment Kiffen's defense like that.
The Pool is rife with the funnies today!
a good coach nonetheless...
