WhatAboutMeBitch · 01-12-09, 11:27 AM

Good Guy. I hope to see him back soon

Chi_archie · 01-12-09, 11:27 AM

Dungy knows a thing or two about a thing or two..... Think he'll get a job on tv?

Sad to hear.

Respect him as a person ... never got to win a playoff game ... overrated ... I believe ... yet I respect him.

I don't see him returning to coaching at all, however I do see him back in the NFL in some type of capacity.

Chi_archie · 01-12-09, 12:03 PM

what is the title of Dungy's book?

Mudcat · 01-12-09, 12:05 PM

He said a few weeks ago that if he decides to leave the NFL, it would be for good.

A lot of guys would say something like that and I would think, 'Yeah maybe/maybe not.'

Dungy, I take at his word.

Chi_archie · 01-12-09, 12:53 PM

Coaches?

if you could bring one out of retirement or up out of the grave to coach your team, who would it be..

I'd take leo durocher to coach my pirates

Dungy's Indianapolis tenure will finish after seven seasons with a record of 92-33, and a postseason berth in all seven years with the club and a Super Bowl victory.

St.Aquinas · 01-12-09, 04:12 PM

Yes, I agree Doc. His numbers are excellent!

jjgold · 01-12-09, 04:19 PM

Very overrated, had one of best qb's of all times

He will never even finish 500 again if he ever came back

brooks85 · 01-12-09, 04:21 PM

Can't motivate men without them fearing you a little bit. See Belichick, Tomlin etc, both quite different in coaching styles yet clearly motivate their players. Dungy is a softie.

brooks85 · 01-12-09, 05:24 PM

Ill take a softie that got into the playoffs with a 12-6 or better record six years in a row. Plus tomlin is a rookie coach with a team he didnt build.

bamasman47 · 01-12-09, 05:48 PM

Overrated! Won a Superbowl! However in his tenure he is one and done in the playoffs! Great person and leader, overrated coach!

McRich · 01-12-09, 05:49 PM

I met Tony when he was coaching the Bucaneers. He was a very nice man. All class.

tomcarter · 01-12-09, 06:17 PM

class act,I just finished watching a show about that scumbag pac man jones and the other scumbag dallas owner jerry jones.Than you realize how great it was to have a guy like dungy in the league,a great coach and a better person

hhsilver · 01-13-09, 01:42 AM

Also, don't forget that he was coach of the first Tampa teams to win ( without Manning).

I remember when he played and then coached under Chuck Noll. I'm not sure if he ever started - maybe a year or 2 as db. then he became an asst to Noll before he was 30. Great coach , great guy.

I live in Indy and I've been a Colts fan since they got here in 1984! I agree that Tony Dungy is slightly overrated in the sense that any decent coach could win 1 SB w/the "who's who" list of All-Pros that he's had over the years! That 2006 team that lost to the Steelers was the best team in the NFL and Dungy didn't have that team ready to play....plain and simple! I told my dad at the time that the Steelers would come out passing since we stuffed their run on MNF earlier that season! They did and our defense was completely unprepared..fell for playaction passing time after time while we fell into a 14-0 hole that we never recovered from! That being said...I wouldn't Coach Dungy (or the Colts) for anyone!

I lived in Dallas-Ft. Worth in the 90s and I saw South America's team win 3 SBs w/the biggest bunch of FCN THUGS I've ever seen in my life! Mike Irvin, Nate Newton, etc! That team was CONSTANTLY in the news for drugs, hookers, etc.! Jimmy Johnson just promoted the same $hit on a bigger scale from what happened in the early Miami Hurricane days..2 Live Crew days! No thanks! Belechik is a fcn douche too...no thanks! We've had Bobby Knight and 3 National Championships...the kids graduated but who wants to support a fcn tyrant w/their hard earned money that can't practice what he preaches!

Good Luck Coach Dungy!!
