Tony Dungy was the first black head coach to coach in a Super Bowl.
What's cool about it is there was another coach that was ALSO the first black coach to coach a Super Bowl... Lovie Smith, on the other sideline coaching the Bears.
Was weird that it happened like that.

I actually came across that bit of information while looking up the results of that Superbowl. Really interesting and unexpected development.

Dungy is also one of just three men to win a Super Bowl as a player and as a head coach. (Tom Flores and Mike Ditka are the others.)
Dungy is the only player since the merger to intercept a pass and throw an interception in the same game.
His autobiography, "Quiet Strength", was the only football related book to debut at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

That was pretty remarkable, actually.
