Dungy Done

Tony Dungy has decided to retire after 13 years as an NFL head coach, the last seven with the Indianapolis Colts. Dungy also took teams to the playoffs to the playoffs ten consecutive season, an NFL record.

Dungy plans to spend time with his family and work with various ministry outreach programs that he's involved with. He'll be missed as an NFL coach, but I'm sure he'll be doing more valuable work in Tampa.

I've heard the sports commentators already asking if Dungy will come back. I feel very confident in predicting he won't. As much as he loves football, the things he can do in ministry are far more important. He won't be lured back. Which is a shame for the NFL, because they lost the services greatest man they had today. I think it will be quite a while before we see another coach like Tony Dungy.
