Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tony Dungy to be inducted to Ring of Honor

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that the twelfth member of their Ring of Honor will be none other than legendary head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dungy.

Tony Dungy was hired as the head coach in 1996 and he led the Bucs to the postseason in four of his six years, including an appearance in the NFC Championship in 1999. Dungy would finish with a 54-42 record which is good for a .563 winning percentage, the highest of any Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach in franchise history.

Dungy was unceremoniously removed from his position after a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2001 season and is often credited by fans to have built the team Jon Gruden won Super Bowl XXXVII with.
