If you happened to miss it yesterday, Tony Dungy retired. Dungy took over an absolute dumpster fire of a situation in Tampa and built one of the best run organizations in the NFL, then saw Gruden win a Super Bowl with his team. Thankfully though, the players on that team gave Dungy the credit he deserved.
Dungy then went to Indianapolis, had trouble getting past the Pats (although you have to wonder about Spygate now) and eventually won a Super Bowl. He did all this while carrying himself in a manner that was admirable and commanded respect.
The grace with which he handled the incomprehensible loss of his son in 2005 was unbelievable. As someone who LOATHES Peyton Manning, I still couldn't bring myself to dislike the Colts because of Dungy. If Mark Richt stays at Georgia and becomes the "Tony Dungy of College Football", that'd be fine by me.
