I am good friends with Coach Dungy. We texted one another about an hour ago. He is, without question, one of, if not the finest person, I have ever met in my life. I wish I was much more like him from a character standpoint. Truly a remarkable human being. I’ve never met anyone like him.
I have been in tough situations with him and his faith and steadfastness is remarkable. He treats everyone with remarkable respect. I would defend Coach Dungy to death. This stuff just ticks me off.
Thanks for your post, he’s always struck me as a fine man.
They say he didn’t raise his voice or swear when he was coaching. I’ve always liked him since hearing that.
I was a Steeler draft choice in 1978, and while I didn’t get too far at all, I did have a chance to talk with Tony a couple times, and I couldn’t agree with you more.
Even as a young 20-something, he was a righteous man who had that certain specialness about him, and I was always happy to see him do well over the years.
