The Indianapolis Star is reporting that Tony Dungy, Indianapolis Colts
coach since 2002, will step down today. The Colts have scheduled a 5
p.m. news conference.
Dungy led the Colts to their only Super Bowl victory in Indianapolis
when his Colts defeated Chicago 29-17 on Feb. 4, 2007. The victory also
made Dungy the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl.
Dungy’s future with the Colts has been in limbo in recent offseasons,
as Dungy was torn between his job in Indianapolis and his family in
Florida. Jim Caldwell, Dungy’s assistant head coach, was named
coach-in-waiting after last season.
The Colts won 85 games with Dungy as coach, including a 12-4 record and
a wild card berth last season. Indianapolis’ season ended in a 23-17
loss in San Diego in the 12-4 record.
Dungy’s overall record as an NFL head coach is 139-69.
