BATON ROUGE – Tony Dungy, who led the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl victory in 2007, will be the headline speaker at this year’s LSU Football Coaches Clinic, which starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday on the LSU campus.
Dungy, who now serves as an analyst on NBC’s Football Night in America after recording a 139-69 record as an NFL head coach, will speak to the group of coaches on Friday at 1:30 p.m. at the LSU Indoor Football Facility.
“It’s truly and honor to have Coach Dungy come to campus and be the headline speaker for our coaches clinic,” head coach Les Miles said. “Coach Dungy is a man of great integrity and faith and his contributions to the game of football are remarkable. I think his presentation will inspire us all.”
The LSU Coaches Clinic will feature an additional benefit this year as the high school coaches will get a chance to watch LSU’s Pro Day, which will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 22. Featuring LSU’s top NFL prospects for the April draft, more than 100 NFL personnel, including general managers and head coaches, will be on hand that day for the workout.

Following Pro Day activities, the clinic participants will get to watch the Tigers practice at 3:30 p.m. followed by a barbeque social at 6. Miles will welcome the group at 7 followed by breakout sessions with the LSU position coaches at 7:15.
The clinic resumes on Friday, March 23 at 9:30 a.m. when LSU strength coach Tommy Moffitt presents to the group of coaches. Following two hours of breakout sessions, lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m. followed by Dungy’s presentation at 1:30 p.m. A third breakout session will take place at 2:45 p.m. followed by presentations from new LSU wide receiver coach Adam Henry at 3:45 p.m. and LSU defensive line coach Brick Haley at 4:45 p.m.
