Can Nick Saban be Coach of the Year?

Not likely though he may deserve it before it is all said and done. Dungy will probably get it

Not this year, this year it belongs to Dungy.

It's a possibility but I think Dungy, L. Smith, M. Lewis or Del Rio would be more likely. Maybe if we win out and Dungy gets caught fixing games.

I really would like to know why all of a sudden everyone envies dungy
He isnt a great coach by any means, look at all the talent that team has, if they were losing under any coach there would be a serious problem
Is he a very good coach? yes. but he isnt great

I think people have been pretty high on Dungy as a coach for quite some time. He's done a very good job with the Colts, slowly turning them into a team that is a force on both sides of the ball. He was smart enough to know the D is his strength and left the O alone while he worked on fixing the D.

Talent or not Dungy has done a good job in INDY. There are alot of talented teams that don't win. Tony wins everywhere he goes and built the team that Gruden won a championship with. A coach was fired before Dungy was hired so it obviously aint that easy.

While always competitive, he obviously never quite earned his due, other than for a stout defense. He's been a class act as far back as memory serves, including his composure amid the humiliating air of incompetence when Gruden stepped in to take his product to a Championship.
I wouldn't say Dungy deserves anything he hasn't yet won, but I'll gladly tip my hat for him when or if he ever does.

While it may be a bit premature, it is a nice thought, considering how we began this year, beginning with his hiring. but if we somehow run the table and NE stumbles a bit and we win the division, then yeah, I'd rather he'd have to. Other than that, right now, it would be Dungy [if they go 16-0,particularly] closely followed by Marvin Lewis. Ya just gotta love what marvin has done with Cincy since he's been there. afterall, he took the bungals out of the Bengals!!

Well, you may be right that he isn't "great" but how do you define that anyway? His method, altho slower than some coaches apparently works. TB was too impatient with him and fired him. gruden steps in and wins the SB with "Dungy's" team. then he slowly, methodically does his thing in INDY and while not winning a championship yet, he's heading in the same direction. Granted, his current O was pretty much in place when he arrived but he still has tweaked it and has been able to keep it together while transforming the lousy D they had then into one of the preimiere Ds in the league. Most times, when one side of the ball takes a mafor transformation, the other side suffers. I don't know how much control Dungy has in personell, but I would imagine he calls alot of those shots.

I agree he has done a great job with their defense, i will never take that from him
I hate when people say that year in tampa was Dungy's team, because He was not the one out there on the field coaching or getting the players motivated, yes im sure he had a lot to do with it, but then Oakland was grudens team so its all the same anyway
I just question dungy as a whole, I think he would make one great D cordinator though
