Tony Dungy has decided to retire after 7 years with the Colts. From Foxsports:

:( On one hand, I'm glad he got to go out his way instead of being fired or forced out. On the other hand, I'm going to miss him. He's a great coach and a great person. I wish him the best in his future plans.

I liked how he listed his priorities as faith, family and football. Tony is a class act.

I've scanned an article but wonder if he said what he is going to do.

Family?

Preach?

Nap? :P

The article mentions spending more time with his family. His son, Eric, will be a high school senior in the fall, and those close to him thought Dungy wanted to accompany his son on college visits.

I saw it on SportsNet, here in Canada. He was a good coach, I'm glad it was his call to leave the game...

I think virtually everyone in the Tampa area was an honorary Colts fan because of Dungy. (And coincidentally, Gruden was fired from the Bucs (http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/jan/16/161835/bucs-fire-jon-gruden-bruce-allen/). Looks like there's an opening.:) )
