Father Dungy Not Coming Back

October 13th, 2009

Earlier today, Joe brought you an item of how Bucs employee and Fox Sports Radio host Chris Myers claimed the Bucs were in talks to bring Father Dungy back to the Bucs in the form of a consultant.

Father Dungy released a statement through his current employer, NBC Sports, where he claims he has no interest in working for the Bucs, reports fellow NBC Sports employee, Mike Florio, the creator, curator and overall guru of ProFootballTalk.com.

“I have had no contact with the Bucs and have no interest in doing anything other than what I am doing” on NBC’s Football Night In America.

“I love working for NBC Sports and my goal right now is to get better at my new job,” Dungy said.

In some ways this is sad and in some ways this is cause for Joe to open a bottle of Caybrew.

    Dungy clearly has respect for himself. Good for him. Given the way the Bucs dumped him, and then Chucky…. everyone would be best to stay away.

    Joe, your Caybrew shout-outs are now bordering on alcoholism.

    Joe look at what you’ve done.

    Dungy was floating something out there and after reading Gino’s comments and you seconding them Tony decided not to be abused again.

    Good grief see what you’ve started! 😉

    I think Mr. Lucky the ones who were “abused” were the people who paid good money to watch what he called an offense.

    True the Bucs winning days from 1997-2000 weren’t offensive blow-outs but I’ll take those games (which were always exciting) over the offensive play of the offense this year!

    16 to 13 is still a win!

    Fly longs for the days of Dungy’s defensive runs into the playoffs……………..

  8. Charkh Says:

    16-13 is a bit high. 9 to 7 seems more appropriate,

    what’s the deal with Figurs?! Joe where you at?

    Bash Father Dungy if you will, but when he went to Indy with Tom Moore & Peyton Manning, there was never a shortage of points scored, or points allowed. Hmmmmm????
