From Wikipedia:
Dungy's tenure in Tampa Bay as the head coach of the Buccaneers brought greater attention to his personal accomplishments outside of sports. Tony Dungy has earned widespread respect both on and off the field due to what many see as strong convictions and high personal standards of ethics and behavior, which affect his behavior as both a coach and as a member of his community. He has been active in many community service organizations in the cities in which he has coached. While in Tampa Bay, Dungy worked as a public speaker for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action.
He began a mentoring program for young people called Mentors for Life, and provided Buccaneers' tickets for the participants. He also supported other charitable programs in the area such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, the Prison Crusade Ministry, foster parenting organizations, and Family First. His community involvement and care continues in Indianapolis where Tony helped launch the Basket of Hope program which aids children at Riley Hospital for Children. He continues to assist Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the Boys and Girls Club in Indianapolis. He also supports the Black Coaches Association National Convention and Indiana Black Expo.
Dungy is a devout Christian and at one point in his coaching career considered leaving football for the prison ministry.[1] Throughout his career, he has remained involved with community service organizations.
I never implied negative remarks against the individual. I don't think the Super Bowl win should be a precedent for this. I heard nothing of this last week so I assume it is publicity related.
Sounds like a good enough guy. It's a little hard to believe considering what Jackson seems to be producing these days. I may be wrong but I think FOX news white house corespondent Wendell Goler is also from Jackson.
Thanks for that post. Dungy also should get a Super Bowl ring from the 2002 Buccaneers. He's the one that built that team.
