Former Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy stopped by to speak to the Texas football team Monday at the request of coach Charlie Strong.
Dungy was in Austin for a charity event and said he wore his Super Bowl rings to show the Texas players, telling them that talent isn't the only key to winning football games (In October, Strong said his team needed to learn how to win). Dungy won a Super Bowl as a player with the Pittsburgh Steelers and as a coach with the Colts.
"I can tell you one thing I've learned as a player and as a coach, you don't win these with talent," Dungy said. "Talent is a part of it, but talent isn’t all of it. As a matter of fact, my head coach with the Steelers, Chuck Noll, who I think is the best coach who as ever, ever coached the game, he said something my first year that I always remembered. He said that champions don’t do extraordinary things. Champions do the ordinary things better than everyone else."
