I can't think of another example of a team that had been built to
near-championship status by one coach, deemed unable to get over the
hump by management and then taken to the championship (despite signs of
being in decline) by another coach.

It could be a further problem/burden to Coach Gruden that Coach Dungy's
team continues to be in the playoffs year after year. When considering
Tony Tungy's history, how often has he not been there. And yet the
ultimate goal has eluded him. DR
