No way is Tony Dungy a top 10 coach in NFL history

He was listed in the top 20 finalists along with Belichick, Paul Brown, Guy Chamberlin, Weeb Ewbank, Joe Gibbs, Sid Gillman, Bud Grant, Halas, Lambeau, Landry, Levy, Lombardi, Madden, Noll, Steve Owen, Parcells, Fritz Pollard, Shula, and Walsh. Dungy won't come close to finishing in the top 10.

He shouldn't even be in the top 20

Wrong.   That defense was the same one the Steelers ran with Noll and Bud Carson.     Dungy is on the list because he was the first black Head coach to win the Super Bowl. That’s the

Is Dungy a top 10 parent?

I assume Dungy was tossed in for a more modern selection.

Because he was a great assistant coach and won so many games with Manning including a SB and a shit ton of division titles while being the first black HC to win the big game

Dungy also was the originator of the Tampa 2 with Kiffen. That team was built under his watch and won a SB shortly after his departure using the same defense to be known as an all-time D.

 

He did a little more than carry Manning's notebook.

 Wrong.

Dungy is on the list because he was the first black Head coach to win the Super Bowl. That’s the only rational explanation.

 

This might sound a little crazy but if innovation was a main criteria, bum Phillips has a good argument to be on the list. He implemented the modern 34 defense as the coordinator for Sid Gilliam.

Dungy is an above average coach....7/8 of 10 in my book.  I guess its because he coached the Colts, but the hate for him here is over the top.  

 

One thing we can at least agree on is that he's way better than Fisher.  Remember when people used to argue that Fisher was better than Andy Reid? ?
