When Tony Dungy left the sidelines I was very skeptical about any involvement he would have in the media. I assumed he would be bland and vanilla, because a guy known to be that classy wouldn’t be frank enough to be interesting. I assumed wrong, one thing is already apparent, class and bland are not synonymous. While Dungy seems to be even classier as a broadcaster than he was as a coach, he is not afraid to offer his candid opinion. While most feel that they need to be controversial or bombastic to be heard Dungy goes for substance. Finally, while many of these ex-coaches are angling for their next job from the booth, Dungy gives off none of that vibe. Dungy is hands down my nominee for rookie of the year in broadcasting.
