Dungy hd an elite QB for years, and still managed only one chapionship.
There's no way of knowing, but I would argue that those coaches would have won more than one championship with Manning.

We're obviously not going to match up exact dynamics when comparing any coach career. My entire point is that Dungy isn't an elite head coach. Based on his product across 2 teams, he's 2nd tier as a SB winner. If you're putting him there (as I think most reasonable people do), I don't think that's overrating him.
Besides, Ditka would have traded Manning for Ricky Williams. Now there's an overrated HC. Great player. But won a SB on the back of Buddy Ryan then did nothing in New Orleans. Without Buddy Ryan, Ditka was essentially Marty.
