You have to give the Devil his due on that one because when a coach of Weiss' stature comes along, you have to make room for him.
Now Tony Dungy out of any one should be the black coach that people support. I cannot stand the Colts, but I respect Dungy for building that Tampa Bay Defense into what it is today. When they won that Super Bowl they should have given him an honorary ring because they were always the doormat of the NFL. Instead they bring in Gruden who wins the big one with another man's players and NO roster changes.
Now DUngy has again built the Colts D who are at this moment the best in the NFL. Some men are great coaches like Weiss and Dungy.
Others like Willingham are better teachers of young men which I saw in the eyes and poise of his players at Stanford and Notre Dame but that does not transfer into wins. Take Arnez Battle remember he came in as a QB. Willingham reshaped him into an NFL caliber player at another position as well as giving the young man his confidence back. Dungy or Weiss would have sat him permanently
Notre Dame has always been a football powerhouse first. That is why they grabbed Weiss. Willingham will ALWAYS be wanted for the simple fact is he does not always produce football players but he will field a competitive football team and he produces MEN.
On another note though, man USC is a pro team.
I agree wit u 100%,the Bucs used to be the laughing stock of the league and then Tony Dungy came and made that team what it is now.They went to the playoffs just about every year and to the NFc championship 2 years I think?He built the defense that won the super bowl title trust me Jon Gruden had nothing to do with that.And now that he's with the Colts they have one of the best defenses in the NFL and IMO are the best team right now.I hope Dungy gets Coach of the Year awards this year.
