Tony Dungy

Tony Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to Super Bowl victory on February 4, 2007, the first such win for an African American head coach. He established another NFL first by leading his teams to the playoffs for ten consecutive years.

Dungy joined the Colts in 2002 after serving as the most successful head coach in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history. He previously held assistant coaching positions with the University of Minnesota, Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings. Before becoming an assistant coach, Dungy played three seasons in the NFL and won the Super Bowl as a member of the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers.

Dungy has been involved in a wide variety of charitable organizations, including the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Athletes in Action, Mentors for Life, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, the Prison Crusade Ministry, and All Pro Dad. He also served on President George W. Bush's Council on Service and Civic Participation.

Dungy is the New York Times bestselling author of Quiet Strength and Uncommon: Finding Your Path to Significance. His latest book is Mentor Leader, another New York Times best seller. He retired from coaching in 2009 and now serves as an analyst for NBC's Football Night in America.

Tony and his wife, Lauren Dungy, are the parents of seven children.

A former elementary school teacher, Lauren has been a vibrant part of the Tampa Bay landscape since arriving in 1996. She is Vice President of The Dungy Family Foundation, which looks to help meet the educational, social and spiritual needs of those in her community. She was integral in the launch of the Foundation's Reading Program, through which volunteers visit elementary schools and community centers to read and donate books. Lauren also volunteers at local schools and speaks at area churches, women's events and other fund-raisers. She is a member of Central Tampa Baptist Church where she teaches Sunday school, helps direct the Children's Choir, and is involved in Bible Study Fellowship. Lauren and Tony are co-authors of the children's book You Can Be a Friend, which was released in January 2011.
