Industry sources report former NFL coach Tony Dungy has signed a deal to become a member of NBC's Sunday "Football Night In America" pregame team. The New York Daily News reports Jerome Bettis will not return to the NBC's NFL studio.

Dungy, who coached the Colts from 2002-2008 (his tenure included a win over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI) is slated to join Bob Costas, Keith Olbermann, Dan Patrick, and Tiki Barber(notes), all who will be returning to "FNIA."

NBC Sports boss Dick Ebersol has scheduled a conference call Wednesday where he likely will introduce Dungy, who also coached Tampa Bay (1996-2001), as the newest cast member. Sources speculated Rodney Harrison(notes), the former Patriots defensive back, will also join the "FNIA" team.

I think it's a good call, you didn't need both Tiki and Jerome on there and I think Tiki does a better job honestly. Glad to see Dungy get the gig, very intelligent coach to have on.

I never thought Jerome did a good job anyways. They also should get rid of that clown Olbermann.
