Tony Dungy Retiring

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.

....given his 92-33 record, superbowl ring, and that he made the playoffs every year, I don't think they were going to fire him.

Not to mention the team and fans love him. He set an NFL record with 10 straight playoffs. He will be missed a lot.

A truly class act. Even though we didn't win a SB with him, the Tampa Bay area still respects him a ton.

Dungy did nothing at all anyway. He just took up space on the sideline.

why? Orton was not the cause of them loseing (not every game anyway). it was the fact that the defence would slack off and play "prevent defence" or the crapy cover 2 and get blown. not to mention there were 2 games where they called a skrub kick that blew up on them.


Orton was actually rated pretty well for a QB this year. Rex wouldnt have helped them at all. in fact think he would have lost MORE games wiht him.
