HOF question - Reeves vs Dungy
 

I saw a poll recently that asked the question of whether or not either of these coaches was a "Hall of Fame" coach. Tony Dungy was an overwhelming "YES" and Reeves was extremely borderline.

You can compare their bodies of work at www.profootballreference.com

What do you guys think?

Dungy.
-10 fewer years and only one less Division Title.
-10 fewer years about only 51 fewer games.
-Superbowl ring.
-Only had double digit losses in one season his entire career.
-Twice as many wins as losses.

For some reason, Marv Levy is in, so I don't see why Reeves shouldn't be.

I would probably lean towards Reeves...A lot longer career, went to 4 Super Bowls with 2 different teams, a lot more wins.

Sure, Dungy won one SB, and has a better winning percentage but I think longevity with a long record of winning teams trumps that.

Barely.

Sure, but prior to coaching Peyton Manning, Dungy was 45-42 overall with the Bucs. Dungy takes over Indy, in Peyton's 5th season and they go on a roll. Dungy took over a pretty loaded roster.

Dan Reeves didn't do too much after Denver, aside from a few good seasons and the SB appearance... but, overall he still has a very solid body of work and like someone else said, Levy is in the HOF.

I'm not suggesting that Dungy isn't qualified, but if he's a lock now... they better put in Jimmy Johnson pretty fast with his record of 80 and 64 with 2 titles. Hell, Barry Switzer was 64-40 in his 4 years with a SB title. Switzer did the same thing Dungy did ... took over a very talented team.

I don't think either one of them belong in the HOF. Dungy had a great QB and is a feel good story, but that shouldn't give him the ticket in. Reeves was a hard worker, for a long time, but not enough IMO.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why Levy made it, but he is an extremely smart ****er, so he managed to politic the right people.

I wouldn't put either one of them in.

Bud Grant also seems to be a question mark. No championships, no major innovations, 21st in regular season win %, 12th in total wins. I just don't see it.

Dungy is a fruad. Peyton should have won more titles if he had a better HC.

Dungy's black he's going in....

Or if he wasnt a **** up in the post season. Just a thought.

I'd vote for Reeves over Dungy, but I think a coach has to be legendary to get in. Neither of those coaches is legendary.

This.

Reeves couldn't co-exist with one of the 3 best QBs in the history of the game. No HOF.

Neither one.

If either gets in, they would be riding in on their QB's talent. ...although there is something to be said for the ability to get out of the way so a player's talent can shine.
