[edit] false referencerations?

Someone removed this reference, saying it's elsewhere in the article, but it's not: He and Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith will be the first African-American head coaches to reach the Super Bowl in NFL history.

Race is totally irrelevant. Please remove "African American" from the article. He is simply a coach who made it to and won the Super Bowl.


Um on the page it has Tony and the Colts winning 2006 Super Bowl XLI no it should be saying 2007 Super Bowl XLI, and that they are still the reining champs. About the African American, i know the Colts and Tony. He IS the first African American to WIN the Super Bowl. In the future people can look back and say yeah i know him he was the FIRST African American to WIN. Yes it doesn't matter but we still need to inclose that information. And many others would very much approve if you could put that both tony and lovie were the first two African American head coaches to go to the Super Bowl. Thanks

[edit] Negativity

This article seems to shed a very negative light on Tony Dungy's career as head coach. Yes, he has lost in the playoffs. However, this article failed to mention ANY of his accomplishments. For example: He has led his team into the playoffs every year in the playoffs as a head coach except one year (his first year as Buc's head coach), including 1 trip to the NFC championship game, and 2 consecutive trips to the AFC championship game. So whomever provided that article, let's provide factual data, not data that scrutinize the man for his "playoff futility". —preceding unsigned comment by 12.96.65.83 (talk â€¢ contribs) 22:28, July 29, 2005

Tony Dungy's quality, style and football knowledge are exceptional. Very seldom do you see him ranting and raving and acting foolish on the sidelines. He trusts his assistants and holds his team to high ethical and moral standards. I know his players respect and admire him as a person and former player. —preceding unsigned comment by 206.246.160.177 (talk â€¢ contribs) 18:53, October 23, 2005

I applied the "unsigned" template to these two earlier posts --Rogerd 03:34, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

his son just died 14:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.79.132.145 (talk • contribs).

I just have mentioned that in the article, thanks. --W.marsh 14:55, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Can we place his son in the Death List for December 22 without having any links to his name? ---J. C. 10:52, 22 December 2005

I don't think so, personally. Mention on those pages is for people who have articles. --W.marsh 16:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Thats what I thought ---J. C. 14:00, 22 December 2005

[edit] Number of children

This article mentions the four children he had by his wife, and James is not among them. Either James is a child of a previous marriage or illegitimate, one of the sons Eric or Jordan does not exist and James was mistakenly named, or James is now not included among his children because he is dead. Either way, this part of the article needs to be clarified. Academic Challenger 05:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

From the AP article: [1] The Dungys have four other children: daughters Tiara and Jade and sons Eric and Jordan. James, their second-oldest child, was taking extension classes at the University of South Florida, the sheriff's office said. Someone recently changed it (an anonymous contributor too lazy to find it) from 5 to 4 after the news of his son's death. --J. Nguyen 05:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Isn't the image a bit small —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.6.169.187 (talk • contribs).

Yes would someone please change the image. It is too dark, you can't make out his face at all. The size is OK as long as it's clear 199.41.197.24 08:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Winang

[edit] Coching Tree

It would be nice if someone would add the coaching tree that comes from Dungy. He has ties to Lovie Smith, Monte Kiffen, The new detroit Lions coach, and others. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jnmorrell (talk • contribs).

[edit] An awful lot on one game

Three very long paragraphs of this article are about a single game in which the man coached. Is that much information really germane to this article? -- Pawl 04:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, it's a spectacular win but I'd rather have it be 1/2 a paragraph for description of this game, and 2.5 paragraphs of stats on other great games he's coached. 71.112.19.160 07:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC) Matt

[edit] Personal

The game in which he unfortunately did not coach in the divisional playoff was against the Pittsburgh Steelers, not the Seattle Seahawks. Sam GoveaChem82 17:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophy

"Contrary to the coaching styles of using profanity and intimidation, getting up at 3 a.m., not living at the complex or sacrificing their families or their faith, the coaches under Dungy are essentially teachers,[6] put faith and family ahead of football and do not belittle his players or scream at them and like Dungy, they are calm when things get worse. They guide instead of goads, and Lovie Smith found that perhaps the most instructive thing of all."

The grammar in this section needs to be cleaned up, and some parts need to be rephrased in order to make sense. For example, is the getting up at 3 a.m. phrase an example of something he and his staff do do or something they don't do? If it's something they don't do, then does the phrase not living at the complex or sacrificing their families or their faith likewise refer to something that they don't do? If that's the case, then he and his assistants do live at the training complex and sacrifice their families—much like most other coaches. They guide instead of goads should end with goad—but perhaps the whole section, or at least this paragraph, should be deleted for being un-encyclopedic and violating NPOV, as well as being largely unsourced. 4.243.206.79 05:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] adding to the ranks

some where it needs to be noted that he and only two other won the super bowl as a head coach and a player. ditka and Tom Flores —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.125.171.127 (talk) 04:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] "Tony"

I undid the previous edit because there was no mention under the WP page specified that there was anything wrong with including the nickname. Honestly, people, try to be more specific when you are citing a page, especially if it doesn't explicitly say what you think it does. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stusutcliffe (talk • contribs) 21:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC).

The title "Tony Dungy" already says enough. According to WP:MOSBIO#Names, the first subject does not need to put Tony inside his whole name. Don't you see that's very redundant? --Chaohwa 02:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redundant coaching strategy?

I think the article on coaching strategy is mainly an explanation of the Tampa 2 defense. i think that part can be summarized and at the top you can put a big link for the Tampa 2 article although, there are plenty of links to it already. so even that might be redundant. does anyone agree with me and/or have different ideas?

[edit] Playoffs with Tampa Bay

Under "Coaching Career" subsection "Tampa Bay Buccaneers," you referenced that Dungy took them to the playoffs 3 times. That number actually should be 4 playoff berths: 1997 & 1999-2001.

Thank you.
