Tony Dungy – Indianapolis Colts
Tony Dungy broke barriers in the NFL. He was the first African American head coach to win a Super Bowl, setting the table for Mike Tomlin and others to follow. It wasn’t easy in Indy, though, as Dungy found himself having to coach around Peyton Manning’s annual playoff meltdowns.
Four years after being hired, Dungy and Manning got over the hump, making the Super Bowl. The Colts beat the Bears 29-17 to win the organization’s second Lombardi trophy, and the first after moving to Indianapolis from Baltimore.
