Were the Steelers disrespected when they beat the Seahawks to win the Superbowl, and their head coach (Bill Cowher) lived, not in Pittsburgh, but in North Carolina?

Did the Colts feel disrespected by Tony Dungy, who continued to make his off season home in the Tampa Bay area while coaching the team?

It's not like it hasn't happened before in the NFL. Remember, Payton wanted to remain in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex when he signed on to coach the Saints. Benson and Loomis told him then it would be better to live in the area, since it was trying to recover from Katrina. That necessity is no longer there.
