I also liked Dungy. I thought he was respectful of ND's history and traditions, and I enjoyed the insights he brought to the game. Dungy was understated, but he made me see things about the game I wouldn't have picked up on my own. That's what a good analyst should do. I also appreciated that Dungy was never overly critical about a player even when pointing out a mistake. I think that is important with a college analyst. When you're doing analysis of an NFL game, I think it is ok for an analyst to be more pointed with his criticism, sort of like Johnny Miller brought to the golf game. But with college kids, I like the criticism to be a little more toned down. Maybe I am old fashioned in that respect, but that is my view of things.
I hope Brees will bring the same insights to the game that Dungy did. We can hope. Obviously Brees is smart and has a great understanding of the game, but being able to communicate that understanding is a different talent.
