INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, team president Bill Polian and coach Tony Dungy will be inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame.

"The success they've had, starting with Mr. Irsay, and being able to bring the type of people they have brought in to Indiana, made them an easy choice," Hall of Fame president Richard Bryant said Friday.

Irsay assumed ownership of the team in 1997 after the death of his father, Robert. He hired Polian, who drafted Peyton Manning the next year, and brought in Dungy in 2002. Under Dungy, the Colts won the 2007 Super Bowl.

Including a previous stint with Tampa Bay, Dungy has a 136-74 career record and has taken his team to the playoffs each of the past nine years, tying an NFL record.

"I am very pleased to be inducted with Jim Irsay and Bill Polian," Dungy said. "We are mindful that the honor recognizes the organization on and off the field. We know we represent the state of Indiana in all of our actions, and we are grateful to be recognized in this manner."
