“There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world, it's the beginning of a new life." Yesterday, a truly inspirational Christian, father, mentor and coach decided it was time to move on.
"I think I've got a responsibility to be home a little bit more, be available to my family a little bit more and do some things to help make our country better," Dungy said. "I don't know what that is right now, but we'll see." (CBSsports.com)
Tony Dungy is the epitome of the word role-model. In a time where winning at all costs lead some in the ranks of coaching to be verbally abusive, contrite, and darn right cantankerous at times, Dungy proved that winning in life was everything not football. He will leave behind a long outstanding legacy after a 31-year NFL career that began as Superbowl champion with the Steelers in the 70's to becoming the first African-American head coach to win it all and hoist the Lombardi trophy in 2006. Tony Dungy is the kind of guy that I would want to coach my son's team because if he never won a game or if he never scored a touchdown, he would still be a winner for having known such a great inspirational man. Happy trails coach, you will be missed!!!
