Dungy knew what he knew, Tampa 2. He was a glorified DC and a figurehead HC whose main job was to motivate and maintain an even keel in an organization with lots of big egos (Polian, Manning). He inherited that offense and the men (Manning, Moore, Mudd) who ran it and he stayed out of their way essentially while coaching up the inexpensive defense Polian needed him to to facilitate that offense... But even then, as with the whole outfit, they only barely managed to win one largely because we faltered in the second half of a conference championship game Vinatieri had kicked the Colts into and that left them to face down the mighty Rex Grossman led Bears we had pummeled earlier... He couldn't get it done in Tampa either, although ADHD Gruden was able to get them over the hump the following season before totally unraveling in a sea of egos (his own included).
Gruden is another guy who knows his **** (despite acting like an idiot on TV) but I wouldn't want him within 100 yards of any segment of my team. I remember watching a program once where he was supposedly coaching the QB and offense...and it was as if his goal was the make or break young QB's and receivers by verbally abusing/confusing/demeaning them...
Bill said this week he's a tough man to work for. I don't think that is truly the case. He demands effort and accountability, but he also protects his players by keeping everything from criticism to praise to discipline in house. Guys who get it flourish under him. And they will tell you you always know where you stand. Just don't expect him to tolerate foolishness or blow smoke up your skirt. The tradeoff is unlike most of his so called peers he will never publicly throw you under the bus. If you land there it's usually of your own doing...
