SAN FRANCISCO — Tony Dungy has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He will be right there in Canton, Ohio, with coaching greats Bill Walsh, Chuck Noll, Don Shula and Vince Lombardi.
He didn't look like them, and in his quietude, he never sounded like them. But he won like them, managing to kick down a few color barriers along the way.
Nobody knew that when he started in Tampa Bay in 1996, after he had been passed over time and time again for head coaching jobs.
