It's a great shame that he won that Super Bowl. It really is. Because now he's considered a football coaching "legend" and he far from deserves that label. He deserves it about as much as Brian Billick deserves it.

The NFL made sure he got that Superbowl, the Peyton/Dungy dream team was just too much for the NFL to not have winning a championship. That Pats/Colts game was the worst officiated game I have ever seen in any major sport.

Kinda weird he won a Superbowl too. Couldn't get over the hump in Tampa, so he got fired. Goes to Indy where he teams up with Peyton, who can't get over the hump. They somehow get over the hump and win, and then choke in their first playoff game the next two years. Almost wonder if Manning/Dungy winning it all was a fluke.

Dungy is a brilliant defensive strategist but I always thought he was one of the most overrated head coaches in the NFL. The Colts were perennial playoff chokers except '06 and they were very lucky not to have faced San Diego that year. How is it possible to only coach in one Super Bowl with Peyton Manning as your QB for almost a decade? Jim freaking Caldwell matched that total in one year!
