Tony Dungy will be inducted into the 2016 Hall of Fame this weekend
For those that may not know, Dungy is not being inducted for his role as a commentator on Sunday Night Football. Dungy was a former player but made himself Hall of Fame worthy by being a great coach, especially when it came to building a defense.
Dungy played from 1977-80 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants. He was mainly used as a special teamer. He did win a Super Bowl in 1979 with the Steelers, however.

A year after retiring in 1981 he became the Steelers defensive backs coach. In 1984 he had moved up to the Steelers defensive coordinator. From 1989-1991 he spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings. From there he got his first head coaching opportunity.
He took over in Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers head coach. He went 54-42 with the Bucs and made the playoffs four of his six seasons. His only losing season was his first year with the Bucs. He moved on to the Colts and Peyton Manning in 2002, and that is where he made his biggest name.
Dungy was 85-27 as the head coach in Indianapolis. He never missed the playoffs and won his first Super Bowl as a head coach in Indianapolis. He became the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl. It is clear that he will go down in NFL history.
