INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts have scheduled a press conference for 5 p.m. today, presumably to announce the future of head coach Tony Dungy with the team. But FOXSports.com is reporting today that Dungy has already decided to step down.
According to the Internet report by NFL writer Jay Glazier, Dungy is "walking around the team's complex saying good bye to players and team employees and informing them that the transition should be a smooth one for new coach Jim Caldwell."
A source told Glazier that 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 in tact.

Tony Dungy is a great example of how success in professional sports doesn't have to come with the 5,000-ton ego.
Every professional athlete should take their cue from Dungy.
To: Military family member
Tony Dungy seems like a genuinely good guy. So few of them in professional sports so ya, that sucks.

A couple of weeks ago he signalled that he wanted to parent more and work with disadvantaged youth.
Blessings to the man.

Dungy’s always been a class act, all right.

After nearly half a million chats on three threads about Anna Nicole Smith, I believe this is worthy of the attention.
Besides, the world desperately needs more Tony Dungys in it.
To: Military family member
Rats. Tony was the only reason I rooted for Tampa Bay, then Indianapolis.
I've lost most reasons to root for any pro team. Go Boise State!

How’s Peyton going to manage going one and done in the playoffs with Dungy gone? Now he probably won’t even make it back to the playoffs to get tossed out in his first game anymore.

Born and raised in Michigan...it would be great for Dungy to go home and resurrect the Detroit Lions. He’s probably the only guy that can do it...maybe as the General Manager, which they desperately need.

Dungy was a great guy - he showed that men of conviction can win.
