Farewell Tony.....

We Colts fans will miss your leadership and quiet strength on the sidelines. Coach Tony Dungy's finally made the decision to hang up the headset after 13 years of NFL headcoaching and 7 years as the coach of the Colts. Coach Herm Edwards said today that Coach Dungy's priorities were in the order of "faith, family, then occupation." Tony's family had moved full time back to Tampa and his heart is for ministry. It's a bittersweet day as it's hard to see him leave, but I know he's doing something more influential in the lives of many in the next stage of his life. Best wishes and blessings for the next stage in life to the 3rd most winningest NFL coach, the 1st African-American coach to win the SuperBowl, and (of course) the first coach to bring home a Lombardi trophy to the city of Indy.
