Bloomington, Minn. – Before the Detroit Lions hired Jim Caldwell in 2014, they checked to see if Tony Dungy was interested in coaching the team.
When he politely declined, he strongly recommended his former assistant and the man who replaced had replaced him in Indianapolis.
It should come as no surprise that Dungy, who currently works as an analyst for NBC Sports, wasn’t a fan of Detroit’s decision to fire Caldwell at the end of the season.
“Well, it’s disappointing,” Dungy said.
