Actually, now that I think about it, no. I don't think Dungy is a legendary coach, but 1.) he was tremendously successful at the coordinator level, 2.) NFL defensive schemes have changed tremendously on account of his influence, 3.) He has had a robust coaching "tree", from Herm Edwards to Lovie Smith to Omar Epps to Rod Marinelli and others. Not all those coaches have been successful, just like not everyone on the Walsh tree has been. But he's been a more significant coach than Ditka.
Make that a former coach. He's announcing his retirement today.
