Dungy Calls It a Career
Indianapolis Colts head coach and one of the most well respected men in the league, Tony Dungy, has decided to retire from football.
Dungy led the Colts to a Super Bowl victory following the 2006 season and has been pondering retirement since that victory.
He is the only African American coach to win a Super Bowl in league history. He is also the only head coach in league history to make the playoffs 10 consecutive seasons.
Dungy has also coached for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC. He turned Peyton Manning, winless in the playoffs before Dungy arrived, into a dominant, championship quarterback.
Before he won the Super Bowl, Dungy’s 18 year old son James committed suicide in December of 2005.
Dungy plans on spending his time with his family and mentoring teenagers and young adults during his retirement.
