I am happy with the historical matchup of African American Super Bowl coaches. I really wanted to see Tony Dungy win, but didn’t believe Peyton would pull it out. Dungy is a class act and is more than deserving to be carried off the field as a Super Bowl winner as a player and coach. Near the end of the game, the Colts were in field goal range. A guy at our Super Bowl party was worried about losing his Under 48 bet. With absolute confidence, I told him not to worry because the Colts will run on 4th down. Why was I so confident? Because I know that Dungy is a high character guy that is playing against one of his best friends. At that point, it would take nothing short of a miracle for Chicago to win, so why add insult to injury.

One of my most horrible memories of my football life was the day that Tony Dungy was fired by the Bucs. I almost threw a brick at my TV in disgust. Here you have a role model for the community, a winner and all around great person being fired from the Bucs. Prior to hiring Dungy, the Bucs were the laughing stock of EVERY major sports league. The Clippers even looked world class by comparison. Enter Dungy. He wins a Division title, has them in multiple playoff games, the NFC championship and turned the franchise into one of the elite teams in the NFL. What does he get in return? A pink slip and replaced by one of the most “over-hyped” coaches of all time.

Gruden came in like he was going to be the savior. Savior? Sounds to me like they fired the savior. Well, Gruden wins the Super Bowl in his first year. YEAH. But with Dungy’s roster. What has Gruden accomplished since? Well, they did win a Division title, but now they look more like a rebuilding team more than ever. And what happened to this high powered offense that he was supposed to develop. LOL. Good Luck.

So, being that I am a fan of Tony Dungy. It was that much more pleasing that he is finally on top of the football mountain and the Bucs are down there somewhere around swamps of another Florida team. “I am not interested in being the coach of Alabama”.
