File-This Dec. 22, 2012, file photo shows Pittsburgh Steelers chairman emeritus Dan Rooney attending the unveiling of a marker commemorating the 40th anniversary of the &quot;Immaculate Reception&quot; at the sight of the catch on the Northside of Pittsburgh. In 2003, the NFL had three minority head coaches: future Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dungy, Herman Edwards and Marvin Lewis. In the 12 previous seasons, there had been six. Total. Considering that the majority of the players in the league 16 years ago were minorities, that imbalance was enormous. And disturbing. And, frankly, it was unfair. Paul Tagliabue, then the NFL commissioner, put together a committee that established the &quot;Rooney Rule,&quot; which requires all teams with coaching and front office vacancies to interview minority candidates. The rule, long overdue, was named for Rooney, then president of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the overseer of that committee. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar, File)

FILE - In this Aug. 14, 2018, file photo, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Tony Dungy speaks during a Buccaneers NFL football Ring of Honor news conference in Tampa, Fla. Dungy will always be appreciative of the opportunity the Buccaneers provided when no other NFL team was willing to take a chance on him as a head coach. So long after transforming the Bucs from laughingstocks into championship contenders, only to be dismissed a year before the franchise won its only Super Bowl, the Hall of Famer is graciously returning to Raymond James Stadium to become the latest member of the club's Ring of Honor on Monday, Sept. 24.
