Life on Florida’s West Coast

Tampa Loves Tony Dungy

Rumors are flying that former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Toney Dungy is getting ready to come back to Tampa. Dungy coached the Bucs from 1996 to 2001. He took over the Colts in 2002, leading them to a Super Bowl win last year.

Dungy will not confirm or deny plans to come back to Tampa, but the Plant High football coach did confirm that Dungy’s son Eric did enroll this week. Dundy is under contract in Indianapolis through the 2009 season, at $5-million per season.

Dungy has been open about his plan to return to Tampa when he is done with coaching. He and his wife still own a home in North Tampa.

If you look at local bulletin boards online, the sentiment is almost unanimous: Come home Dungy. You are loved.
