One of the class acts in the NFL is Tony Dungy. There's been speculation for the past few years that he was close to hanging it up. Well, Fox news reports that he will resign today. Reports say that the coach isn't answering his cell phone. Well, NOBODY answers their cell phone.
Dungy was special -
-He is the first Black head coach to win the Super Bowl.
-He reached the playoffs all seven seasons, winning five division titles and appearing in two AFC title games.
-Dungy finishes his career as the Colts’ franchise leader in victories, going 85-27 in the regular season and 7-6 in the playoffs.
-He’s the only coach in NFL history to produce six straight 12-win seasons and 10 consecutive playoff appearances.
But Dungy’s teams were also eliminated from the playoffs four times without winning a game, including the past two seasons after winning the Super Bowl— prompting some to speculate that Dungy’s indecision may have hurt the Colts’ focus.
Coach Dungy will be missed in Indianapolis. His likely replacement is Jim Caldwell, Dungy's assistant and former quarterback coach who followed Dungy from Tampa Bay.
