Terrell Davis, Steve Atwater, Favre, TO and Warner all very deserving.

Sure the majority of posters on this board never saw Atwater play, but he defined what a hard hitting safety was and routinely murdered people over the middle. He was Sean Taylor before Sean Taylor was Sean Taylor. Terrell Davis is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history... screw the longevity excuse, if he had stayed healthy and played another 3 or 4 seasons he would have been a 1st ballot HOFer without a doubt.
Atwater was bad ass.

I'm sorry but what exactly has Dungy done besides being the first AA coach to win a SB.
He could not get the Bucs to the SB ... Gruden did it in his first year in Tampa.
The first minority coach to win a SB was Tom Flores and he won it twice why is he not in?

The two main knocks against Tom Flores are that he doesn't have 100 career wins (unless you count playoff wins) and a bad tenure as the Seahawks head coach. You have to give him a lot of credit for winning those two Super Bowls especially XVIII where the Raiders basically shut out a Redskins team that at the time were talked about as one of the best offensive teams of all time.

He also did it twice with Jim Plunket, while Alwas starting to get erratic.

I think the Broncos making the Super Bowl and inevitable reflection over the 50 milestone will give Terrell Davis enough of a boost to get in.
