The right man, at the right time, for all the right reasons.
- Credibility
- Molder and teacher of men both on - and off - the field
- National reputation (= can get in ANY recruit's living room)
- NFL connection/resume (would get the attention of any recruit)
- Has HEAD COACHING EXPERIENCE
- Could and WOULD attract terrific assistant coaches
- Would attract National Media attention, which would attract recruits, which if could be translated to wins, would attract National Attention . . . lather, rinse, repeat . . .
- Could be a platform for Dungy to truly mentor ~ 200 young lives personally if he'd stay 7-10 (or so) years
- Is a GOPHER
- Etc., etc., etc. . . .
Makes so damned much sense - it probably has no chance of happening.
But I believe it can happen. Once, roughly 10 years ago, someone raised the then-impossible dream of having an on-campus, football-only, stadium for the Gophers back again. What was said?
"Impossible."
"Can't happen."
"You're dreaming."
"No chance."
"Where have you gone 'Tony Dungy-o'?
Gophs Nation turns it lonely eyes to you.
Woo-woo-woo."
