Minnesota Vikings fans may remember Dungy for his time as the defensive coordinator for Minnesota for four years in the 1990s before he got the call for a promotion to become the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dungy is a two-time Super Bowl champion who was named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team
and was also inducted into the Indianapolis Colts Ring of Honor in 2010 as well as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ring of Honor in 2018.
