Tony Dungy

Tony Dungy, a former NFL defensive back, advanced through the coaching ranks

following his playing career. He earned his first head coaching position in 1996 with the Tampa

Bay Buccaneers and over the next 13 seasons, that included seven years with the Indianapolis

Colts, he racked up 148 total victories.

Dungy’s career in coaching began in 1980 with the University of Minnesota before jumping

back to the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1981 where he rose to become the team’s

defensive coordinator. He coached three years for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1989 to 1991 and

then was named the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings from 1992 to 1995.

Dungy took over a Buccaneers team in 1996 that had suffered 12 double-digit loss

seasons in the previous 13 years before his arrival. The fortunes of the franchise quickly changed

under his leadership. By his second season, the team finished 10-6 and earned a playoff berth.

Two seasons later, in 1999, the Bucs posted an 11-5 record and clinched the franchise’s first

divisional title since 1981. After six seasons in Tampa Bay, that included four trips to the playoffs,

Dungy was relieved of his duties.

Eight days after his dismissal by the Bucs, Dungy was hired by Indianapolis. Under his

guidance, the Colts enjoyed success never experienced in the franchise’s history. During Dungy’s

seven-year reign as Indy’s head coach, the Colts posted 12 or more wins in all of those seasons

except his first when they finished 10-6. The team claimed five divisional titles and advanced to

the playoffs every year of Dungy’s tenure as coach.

In 2006, Dungy guided the Colts to an AFC South Division title and capped the season

with a thrilling 38-34 win over their arch rival New England Patriots in the AFC championship

game and a victory over the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. Dungy became the first African

American head coach ever to win a Super Bowl.

Dungy’s overall record as a NFL head coach was 148-79-0 and that includes a .668

winning percentage in the regular season (139-69-0).
