Wow. Dungy Retires

[matrix]

Sad... Wish him the best...

Sad... Fox still does not retire...

One of my all time favorite coaches. Doesn't come as a surprise though - that's all we've been hearing on sports news for the last few weeks - even before the season was over.

I look at this with mix emotions.

First, sometimes I think the Colts would have been better off with a coach that maybe fired the troops up more. Over the last 8 years (Colts made the post season all 8 years.) They have gone 1 & done 4 of the 8 times. (And you think the Panthers have something to whine about over Saturday!)

During this span Dungy had 2 HOF 1st ballot locks. Marvin Harrison WR & Peyton Manning QB. Also during that time Dungy's team had to face the NE Patriots 4 times, a team that won the Super Bowl 3 times!

Out of 13 Post season games, Marvin Harrison has only 2, 100 yard games. Peyton Manning also threw pics like Jake Delhomme. Of course the COLTS did win it all a couple of years ago under Tony.

Now the COLTS are gong to get Jim Caldwell. Caldwell had a less than stellar career with Wake Forest. In fact, he had a losing record. I was hoping that the COLTS could get Jim Mora Jr as their HC, but he is already slated to take over in Seattle.

He said he would take a week to decide and he did. That is just another example of the integrity he has. Whatever he does with his life I'm sure he will be a benefit to others who come in his path. I wish him the best.

You have to wonder how much interest there is in John Fox for head outside of Carolina. Just saying.

He'd land another HC job somewhere and thats fine with me.

[dimbee]

He'd land another HC job somewhere

I agree. But I don't want him going anywhere

[Mr. Scot]

Never been a fan of his defensive philosophy (depending on small, speedy guys) but a good coach and a good man. He'll be missed.

[Davidson Deac II]

Jim Caldwell is a good man, I hope he succeeds except when he plays us.

He didn't succeed at Wake because he tried to pretend that we were Penn State, with the three yards and a cloud of dust offense. Didn't work out to well, although he did win at least one bowl wwith Wake, which is more than Wake's other future NFL coaches (Mackovic and Groh) could say.

Fox would be hired very quickly...

he is highly regarded around the league as one of the better coaches.

despite how our fan base feels about him from week to week
