A few things. First, polians philosophy was to rotate the back 7. So the defense had to deal with constantly changing, second rate personnel. Second, dungy ran the Tampa 2 a few years past it's prime. Keep in mind that, unlike herm, he doesn't strike me as a guy married to Tampa 2. His career started out in Pittsburgh and kc, so he's versed in cowher and Marty defensive schemes. Wouldn't be surprised to see him shift to an entirely different defense.
And it's too soon to say what fox is doing with Peyton. He's played one season against a weak division.
What value did he provide? Again, we have seen so many teams quit on their coach or rebel against a hardass. Dungy pumps out consistently very good teams. For 13 years. Hes a very good coach. I don't know how anyone can discredit him. He's only overrated by people who think he's a blue chip coach. Again... He is Marty, not herm.
