HENDERSON, Nev. -- Calling Tom Flores a "pretty powerful trailblazer" in the NFL, Tony Dungy -- the first Black coach to win a Super Bowl -- endorsed Flores -- the first minority coach to win a Super Bowl -- for the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Friday.
Results of voting for the Hall will be announced Saturday.
"I think it would be very significant," said Dungy, who is already in the Hall of Fame. "People don't understand the history of the game ... people don't think of 'first minority' and Tom and what that was. I don't think people talk about that enough.
