INDIANAPOLIS — Bill Polian is a Pro Football Hall of Famer for a reason.
During his illustrious NFL career, Polian was tasked with hiring numerous head coaches, many of whom went on to lead their franchises to greatness.
Take Tony Dungy, for example. In January 2002, Dungy was fired as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but just eight days later, he was swooped up by Polian and the Colts to be their next leader.
But why? Sure, Dungy talked a nice game during the lengthy interview process, but Polian said it was his specific vision — how his team was going to play, how it was going to look and how it was going to act — that made the decision to hire Dungy an easy one.
