Tony Dungy : Coach of the Year (?!?!)

[T-ShirtDynasty]

Would Lovie Smith have been a good choice? Yes. But, his time will come.

Yes, maybe his time will come soon.

The idea that Tony Dungy would win this award, however insignificant it is, is a travesty, and final evidence that all you really need to do is take care of the press. A "great choice"?

Lovie winning it seems as silly now as Jauran winning it did in 2001. I'd vote for Holmgren but I didn't vote before the season ended like the real vote is.

This goes to prove that anything that you read in the media you can take with a grain of salt. Opinions are like a-holes and these people have big ones.

Dungy didn't win anything with a healthy team and a very easy schedule. BB went as far as he did using 45 different starters.

And Patters, the Colts are on their way down. This year was their last best chance and they blew it. Jax, Tenn, & Houston are going to improve next year and not give them 5 or 6 easy wins.

Exactly. They were supposed to be the most formidable and complete version of the Colts we had seen in the Manning era. They won 13 in a row, often in runaway fashion. THEY HAD FREAKIN' HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE. They had no major injuries. Yes, there was a tragedy with the coach's son, but how much influence does Lord Manning have over that offense? He defies his own head coach regularly, so I refuse to believe the Dungy tragedy, terrible as it was, had a real effect on the their playoff performance. It was simply too deja vu. And everyone knows it!
