It is my feeling that both of these gentlemen would prefer the spot light not be on them, but on the players and the game.
Do they desearve it, YES. Did they earn it, YES!
The coach I admire the most is Eddie Robinson of Grambling who did not get the recognition that He so richly desearved.
Oh, for those who do not know, he was happy at what he was doing and where he was with the school, his team, and its athletes.

Ok, Tom
I take you at your word. I've seen both Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy interviewed recently, and while both are focusing on their teams, they each spoke poignantly about what this accomplishment meant. They expressed gratitude to those who opened the door through which they (Smith/Dungy and hopefully others) now walk. So, I think they're handling the "spotlight" quite well.
I, too, admire Eddie Robinson, who happens to be a distinguished brother of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
Head coach at Grambling for 56 years, more than 400 career wins; The Football Writers of America "Coach of the Year" Award is named after him.
Yep, Eddie Robinson, is, indeed, somebody's football coach....
