Terre Haute, Ind. ? Tony Dungy has a Super Bowl title, a best-selling book and now a presidential appointment.

On Tuesday, President Bush announced his intention to appoint the Indianapolis Colts coach to the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation. The term runs for two years.

After the announcement in Washington, Dungy told reporters at training camp he was first asked about taking the position when the Colts visited the White House in April, a traditional honor for Super Bowl champions. Indianapolis beat Chicago, 29-17, in February, winning its first title since moving from Baltimore in 1984.

“You have to fill out a lot of paperwork, and they have to do some checking, that sort of thing. That came through OK,” Dungy said. “It’s a great honor, and it’s something we always talk about with our team – how to serve your community and make your community better.”
