Tony Dungy excelled with 'outside of the box' approach, selected to Hall of Fame

INDIANAPOLIS -- Yelling, swearing and being overbearing were things Tony Dungy avoided during his 13-year head coaching career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts. He believed there were better and more useful ways to get his message across to the players.

Rather than scream, Dungy taught.

Rather than curse, Dungy talked in a calming voice.

Rather than be overbearing, Dungy treated his players with respect.

Dungy's approach as a coach paid off Satuday when he was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
