March 12 (UPI) -- Tony Dungy said he is disappointed that his days as analyst for NBC's Sunday Night Football are over, the Hall of Fame coach wrote Thursday on X.
NBC hired Dungy in 2009 to work as a broadcast analyst.
"I have been informed by NBC that I won't be back with Football Night in America this fall and it has given me time to reflect and also to look ahead," Dungy wrote. "It's disappointing news, but I want to thank my NBC family for making the last 17 years so special.
"I'll have lasting memories of my time there, especially with Rodney Harrison who has become a tremendous friend."
Dungy, who achieved a 139-69 record over 13 seasons as a head coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts, posted a photo of himself alongside Harrison, whom he worked alongside in the booth.
The 70-year-old did not rule out a return to broadcasting.
"God has always directed me in these moments and while I'm not sure what the next step will be for me -- whether it will be in football, in broadcasting, or getting more involved in church and community outreach -- I know God has plans for my life and I can't wait see them unfold," Dungy wrote.
"And I am reminded of one of my favorite verses in the Bible-Romans 8:28. "God works all things for His good for those who love the Lord."
