First black coach in Super Bowl

I don't get why Lovie Smith is the first black coach in the Super Bowl. Tony Dungy is also black, and the Super Bowl starts at the same time for both of them, so aren't they both the first black coach in the Super Bowl. It seems ridiculous that because the Bears game ended first that Lovie Smith is first and Tony Dungy is second. It makes no sense. It's about the Super Bowl, not which team was in first.

I have to agree with you on this. They're both playing in the first superbowl to have a black coach. To say one is the first, and one isn't simply because their championship game was scheduled earlier is silly.

Maybe what happened is that because the Bears won first, Lovie Smith was in the Super Bowl and since no one knew who was going to win the second game, it was safe to say that he was the first black coach in the Super Bowl. Once the Colts won, it should have been corrected, but just the other day I watched a segment on ESPN about how Lovie Smith was the first black coach in the Super Bowl.
