You might have a point if Dungy didn't have a long history of under coaching in the playoffs. Their playoff loss this year wasn't significantly different in their performance than their playoff loss last year, or the year before, or for the Bucs while Dungy was in Tampa. Some coaches just aren't playoff coaches

And that really used to be the knock on Cowher, as well -- that his coaching style didn't work in the playoffs. He was more flexible this year, and the results showed. Hopefully, Dungy will learn, and we'll see a PIT/IND AFC championship game next year that is a lot less ugly than the conference semi was this year.

Absolutely. That was the thing that really started giving me confidence this year, it was clear in the 3rd quarter against Cincy in the Wild Card round that this was not your typical under-planned under-prepared Cowher playoff game. They clearly had a better than usual gameplan and made much better half time and inbetween possession adjustments. I'd like to see Dungy make the change too, he's a good guy and deserves a ring. I'd rather he do it with a different team since I have an innate dislike for dome teams, but I do hope he goes the distance one of these days.

Talk about inflexible...... look up inflexible in the dictionary and there's a picture of Marty Schottenheimer.
