Sources: Colts Meet With Dungy, Offer Flexibility
12th January, 2008 - 6:14 pm
ESPN - Indianapolis Colts' Coach Tony Dungy met Friday with owner Jim Irsay in the most recent of ongoing discussions about Dungy's future, according to team sources.

Irsay is offering Dungy "tremendous options" and "flexibility" to enable the coach to return for the 2008 season even though Dungy's children have transferred from their Indianapolis schools to Tampa schools in the past week, sources said.

Dungy reiterated to Irsay that he will make a decision when the playoff run is over but first will take several days to recover from the season. Thursday, Dungy acknowledged he would talk with his wife and Indianapolis officials about the future when the Colts' season ends.

If Dungy does retire, Assistant Head Coach Jim Caldwell, who is also Peyton Manning's quarterback coach, is the clear-cut choice to succeed Dungy, sources said. Caldwell is a candidate for head-coach openings with the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens. [READ]
