Dungy says he's had no contact with Bucs on potential role

OCTOBER 13, 2009

Former Colts coach Tony Dungy said there is no basis for speculation that he has been approached about a potential role with the Bucs.

Fox reporter Chris Myers suggested on his radio show that Dungy might be considered for a position.

Dungy denied that report Tuesday.

"No truth at all,'' Dungy said in a text to the Times. "I've not had any contact with them other than (trainer) Todd Toriscelli helping Eric with an injury.''

Dungy's son, Eric, is a senior wide receiver/defensive back at Plant High School.
