Tony Dungy (1996-2001) was the only Buccaneers coach to post an all-time winning record against the Saints.
In the 4 times he coached Tampa Bay against the Saints he managed to compile a 3-1 record.

Dungy coached the Bucs at the same time Mora was on his way out and Ditka was busy setting the team back a few millennia. Haslett's one time playing the Bucs as Saints coach was during the scandal-plagued 2001 season, so yes, Tony took advantage of a weak period ;)
Weren't the years before the dome patrol always weak and yet no other coach has a winning record against us.

Their first coach was John McKay. He was there when they broke their record losing streak to open the franchise against the Saints late in 1977 and then coached them to their first few winning seasons. But even he couldn't muster up better than a 3-4 record against Stram, Nolan and Phillips. Loss #4 was in 1984 in the Dome -- my first Saints game I ever went to, as a nine-year-old kid struggling to see the action over the tall grown-ups. Hokie Gajan scored the winning touchdown that day ;)

Is that the Hokie run where he turned up the sideline instead of going out of bounds? Ran for 60 or more yards for TD? Never forget that play.
