Sources: Colts coach Dungy is stepping down by Jay Glazer Updated: January 12, 2009, Tony Dungy is stepping down as head coach of the Colts -- at least that's what he's telling those inside the team headquarters, sources told FOXSports.com. While the team has scheduled a 5 p.m. press conference, Dungy is walking around the team's complex saying goodbye to players and team employees and informing them that the transition should be a smooth one for new coach Jim Caldwell. According to one source, Dungy explained that he has talked it over with his family and they believed this was the proper time to step down, while the Colts nucleus was still intact. Dungy is perhaps the most respected head coach among peers and players of this era. He won a Super Bowl a couple of years ago and at that time many thought he would step down. Last year these same sentiments were predicted but he decided instead to pick his predecessor and stay on for one more year. Dungy will not enter his eighth season with the team and finishes with a record of 92-33 and can boast that he made the postseason all seven years with the club. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9067132/Sources:-Colts-coach-Dungy-is-stepping-down
Wow, I figured he would comeback with the way the season ended. Great coach, even a better person. Sad to see him go. I wonder what his relationship with P.Manning is like.
oh crap. Fire Payton and get him. quickly PS: yes i agree he is one of the classiest coach to ever wask the sideline.
I heard him interviewed about this before their game last week. He said he had a decision to make, and that his youngest son is a senior in high school next year. He mentioned how nice it would be to actually have the time to see his son play football.
