Everyone familiar with what Colts’ coach Tony Dungy went through last year with the suicide death of his son was impressed with the grace and dignity he showed in tragedy. His faith was evident, and even the most hardened unbelievers were impressed with his strength and his confidence in God. It was an amazing testimony. I hope he wins on Sunday, but here’s a great column about both coaches.

As another column said, “not only are they the first black coaches in the Super Bowl, Dungy thinks their shared faith in Christ is also important. ‘He’s going to get there with a lot of class and no profanity,’ Dungy said about Coach Smith. ‘We can show that not only can an African-American do it, but also Christian coaches can do it.’”

Character, not color, defines Dungy, Smith.
