Brandt challenged NFL coaches to forgo cursing in locker room speeches, especially when it came to the use of “f—ing.”

“I challenge NFL head coaches to give post-game locker room speeches without using the word ‘F—ing’ every sentence. Not sure it can be done,” Brandt wrote on X.
Tony Dungy added that he knew it could be done.
“In my first team meeting with the Bucs & the Colts I asked the players if any of them needed to be yelled at or cursed at to play their best?” Dungy wrote in response. “No one raised their hand in either meeting so that’s how I proceeded. We did OK so I know it can be done effectively.”
