Tony Dungy reportedly will announce today that he is stepping down as coach of the Indianapolis Colts. The team has called a news conference for 2 p.m. PST.
Various media outlets, citing unnamed sources, say Dungy is ready to step down after three decades of coaching, in college and then the NFL. He has long indicated an interest in stepping away from the game at some point, in part to devote more time to his Christian ministry.
Dungy, 53, has been coach of the Colts for the last seven seasons. He was the first African American head coach to win a Super Bowl in 2006, with the Colts. He was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1996 to 2007
Led by Dungy, the Colts won five consecutive AFC South titles from 2003 through 2007, and they set an NFL record with six straight seasons with 12 or more victories.
Dungy proved that nice guys don’t finish last.
