Sorry - I loathe Chucky.

I think he is knowledgeable but he built his reputation at TB with a team that wasn't his. He inherited a Super Bowl capable team from Dungy & won.

BUT - after that Super Bowl it all went downhill for TB & that is because he really isn't that good of a head coach.

Totally disagree about the coach thing. I think he was a great coach. Maybe he did inherit Dungie's team, but what about the team he built in Oakland?

If I recall correctly, that team was pretty damn good too; and didn't they face each other late in the playoffs, er, no wait...the Superbowl?

I disagree. Dungy couldn't get them over the hump --- PERIOD. Chucky did and that's all that mattered. Dungy then went and inherited another pretty darn good team in INDY --- And was able to get them there ONCE ... I love Chucky (as a disclaimer), but the comment insinuates that somehow he just rolled in at the perfect time ... Not true. He took a great team and made them WORLD CHAMPIONS. No small task.
