OT: Dungy done at 4:30ET?

Colts Defense-TM- Colts Jan. 21 - 3:06 pm et


The Colts have called a 4:30 ET press conference to announce the future of head coach Tony Dungy.

Colts owner Jim Irsay told ESPN's Chris Mortensen he got the feeling late Sunday that Dungy was "leaning" towards returning to Indy, but that may be wishful thinking. We should know for sure within the next few hours.

Looks like he's done.

DUNGY ANNOUNCEMENT COMING LATER TODAY

The Indianapolis Colts have announced that a press conference will be held at 4:30 p.m. EST on Monday, and that the "participants" will be owner Jim Irsay, president and G.M. Bill Polian, head coach Tony Dungy, and assistant head coach Jim Caldwell.

Unless the Colts are trying to build drama regarding the possibility that Dungy is leaving, there's no real reason for Caldwell to "participate" unless Dungy will be passing the baton to him at that time.

As one media insider observed in response to the news, "Looks like he's gone."

That's what Adam Schefter said, also.



And we needed a press conference about this. . . . . .why? Are book sales slow?

It wouldn't surprise me if the announcement is just that they've extended both Dungy's and Caldwell's contracts.

NFL Network just announced he's staying on for 2008 and it was Adam Shefter that made that announcement.

PFT is missing the boat. Even if Dungy stays, Caldwell is participating to be announced as the successor to Dungy. Hopefully he stays.

John Clayton is saying the same thing.

Blah. I was hoping he was done.

What kind of self-absorbed *****hole holds a press conference to announce that they are not quitting their job?

if this is true, I think BB should release a press statement he's staying on and Tom Brady isn't retiring.
