An impressive testimony, no doubt.
I have to quibble though, when he said that he and Lovey Smith were the "first Christian" coaches to coach a Superbowl. I gotta figure he mis-spoke on that one.
Surely, of the 80 coaches before them, there is at least one Christian.

I have to agree. Interesting that it is even a topic in today's climate, however.

I gotta admit, the man with the hat came to mind.
You know, NFL coaches aren't allowed to dress that way anymore? They have to wear the NFL licenced logo stuff on the sideline or pay a fine.

what's up with the dateline being Miami, OK?

Of course God would have a Christian coach for His team. :)

Tony didn't use the word 'first.' He only used the word Christian.

How about Joe Gibbs and the Denver coach (I am getting old and name memory is getting to be a problem)?

Every Tampa Bay Fan knows that this is Tony's second SuperBowl Ring. After the death of his son, Tony seriously considered leaving the Colts, instead, he spent less time on the team, and more time on his family, and ministry. And he still won. That is part of what he meant by proving you can win, in a Christian way.

He didn't say that they were the first Christian coaches. He said that they were Christian coaches showing that you could win doing it the Lord's way.

Joe Gibbs is way ahead of those guys. I'm sure there were other christian superbowl coaches before Joe, too. Mmm, maybe Don Shula and George Allen, who met in Superbowl 7. Who knows. A very wonderful testimony, all the same.

"Christian coaches showing you can win the Lord's way - that's what I'm more proud of." No "first" in that quote.

Tony Dungy is an example of boldness and consistency in Christ, and perseverence in faith that we all can look up to.

Repeating......Tony didn't say they were first.
I'm sure he knows about his brothers in Christ who preceded him.
While I'm sure God doesn't care about winning football games, He does help His children who desire to do their best for HIM.
That's the message here, IMO.

I am sure he misspoke. I remember that Joe Gibbs and Dan Reeves are Christians, and the Redskins and Broncos held a joint worship service the Saturday before the Super Bowl.
