Tony Dungy Not Interested In A "Buccaneer Bailout"

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization is sinking in a quagmire of its own making.

It is sinking weekly, rumors abound, things are getting, well, the way things get when losing permeates an NFL team.

Latest rumor surrounding the premises at One Buccaneer Disgrace, er, Place, is that the goodly Glazier family might seek to salvage their current mess with help from a man they sent packing years ago.

That man, Tony Dungy, lived happily ever after in Indianapolis and now resides in front of the NBC cameras.

Fox's Chris Myers floated a suggestion that Dungy's name was being whispered through the palatial halls of Buccaneer headquarters as the fellow who might help bail out this sinking ship that the Glazers command.

Myers suggested that Dungy might have been asked to "consult" with the the organization.  

Tampa website JoeBucsFan.com brought Meyers' comments into the limelight and today, NBC squashed those rumors when a statement was issued from Dungy that basically said he wasn't the least bit interested and that he likes his gig at NBC and wants to polish his on air skills with the network.

Would you expect different?

The last vivid picture of Dungy was the former Bucs coaching loading a couple of small boxes of possessions into his vehicle as darkness fell on Tampa Bay and a steady rain came down upon him.

Now the rain is falling directly on the Buccaneers and they can cross Dungy off the list of potential saviors of the organization.
