Tony Dungy and the U are still very tight. He was a key figure in getting the private funding raised that helped build the Gophers new stadium. He and his wife still own a home in Minnesota, and he is still very much a booster of this program, so don’t be so fast to dismiss and speak with such certainty that he will not consider the position if asked.
I’ve had Tony fishing in my boat and I can tell you that he has an open mind to the idea.
Nice name dropping. 
You are right. I am sure he tells all his intimate feelings to some guy that took him fishing. My point was is some newspaper guy just threw out an opinion asking what about Dungy coming to the Gophers and all of sudden it is a huge rumor. Sure he might go to the Gophers. But all coaches find the NFL the pinnacle of their profession and when he could get 8-10 million in the NFL, don’t hold your breath that he is going to come save the pathetic Gopher program. But as Dungy’s confidant, you would know better so I will agree that Dungy won’t be a Packer coach because he will be on the sidelines for the Gopers next year.
What gives you the right to be so cynical of anything someone says that differs from what you say?
As for name dropping, it’s a fact, Tony has fished with me, as have many of the members of the “Athletes IN Action” Christian Fellowship from the NFL. Both players and coaches, so get off your high horse and deal with it. 
Cynical about somebody having an opinion different from mine? Have you ever looked in the mirror? I’m not on a high horse. I don’t doubt that you have taken him fishing. I just doubt he is going to tell a fishing guide his actual plans. Of course he would say the correct thing. Did you really think he was going to just laugh and ask why the heck he would give up millions of dollars to go to college?? As I said, I suppose he could, but tell me one successful pro coach that has gone back to college? Hey any chance you have fished with Shanahan? He used to coach with the Gophers. Maybe you can find out if he is open to coming back?
