They invested 24 days and an estimated 98,000 words to complete Tony Dungy's memoir, "Quiet Strength."

Jefferson High School teachers read the book to their students from January to March as part of the One Book, One School project.

Today, the 1,800 students heard from the Super Bowl-winning coach himself.

A goal of Dungy's 2007 book is to motivate people to live productive lives even when facing adversity.

Based on the reaction at Jefferson High, it achieved its mission.

I wish the kids were reading themselves the book but this is a neat story. I'm shocked that some parents haven't raised a stink because of the Christian content in the book. If any of you haven't read it, it's really a refreshing read. Amazon says the softcover comes out in June.

Indeed, it is a nice read. I felt Tony was sitting at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee and he was telling me his story.....

If I was an NFL football player and had to pick one current coach I could play for, I would pick Tony Dungy. This is a coach I could trust to make me a winner, on and off the field.

Dungy is a class act.

Nothing like the message from a true Christian to move many. Tony is a man among men.
