Tony Dungy

This next post is a tribute to one of my favorite coaches of all time, Tony Dungy.
Tony Dungy was one of the best coaches to ever coach in the NFL. Retiring this year, Dungy has retired holding many coaching records. Starting out his career as a defensive back coach of the Steelers in 1982 Dungy was soon promoted to defensive coordinator in 1984. After five more years with the Steelers, Dungy left and became the defensive back coach in Kansas City. Three years later Tony Dungy became the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, for the four years Dungy stayed in Minnesota their defense was ranked number one. In 1996, Tony finally achieved his goal of becoming a head coach when he was hired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the 6years Dungy was coach of the Bucs, they went to the playoffs 4 times. When 2002 came around, the Buccaneers fired Dungy who was soon hired by the defensively challenged Indianapolis Colts. Along with taking the Colts to the playoffs every year since he was hired, setting a record for most consecutive playoff appearances by a head coach with 10, Tony Dungy and the Colts finally managed to win the Superbowl in January of 2007 against the Chicago Bears. Dungy became the first African-American coach to win a Superbowl. Tony Dungy retired from coaching in the NFL on January 12, 2009. Tony Dungy will always be remembered as one of the best coaches to coach in the NFL.
