Tony Dungy has a problem with Rex Ryan's cursing

Former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy doesn't approve of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan's salty vocabulary on HBO's Hard Knocks television program.

Dungy is a deeply religious person who was offended by Ryan's profanity with the "F" word the most commonly used one.

"I'm disappointed with all the profanity," said Dungy during the Dan Patrick radio show. "I think Rex can make his points without all that."

Dungy went so far as to say that he wouldn't hire a coach who speaks that way.

"I would not," Dungy said. "I personally don't want my players to be around that. I don't want to be around that. It's hard for me to be around that. If I were in charge, no, I wouldn't hire someone like that.

"Now, I've been around 'F' bombs, so it's not like it's new. I just don't think that has to be part of your every-minute, every-day vocabulary to get your point across."

Ryan's mother has criticized him for his cursing.

And Dungy said he hopes that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has a little talk with Ryan about representing the league's shield.

"I would hope that he does," Dungy said. "I don't know that he will or not, but I hope that he does because I just don't think the league needs that. I don't think our young people need to hear that that's what's done to be successful."
