He's pretty young, he still has his svelte figure. No heart attacks yet. He'll be back.

How long until we see him back on the side lines? Everyone knows he will be back, how long until is the question.

I have no idea, I'm not clairvoyant. I was responding to the Brian Dawkins guy.

Why would anyone take Dungy back, even if he wanted to return? He never did anything without Manning, whose succes was obviously due to Caldwell's telepathic relationship with him. The Colts are lucky that he's leaving, it's just too bad that the Broncos weren't fortunate enough to have Shanahan step aside for Kubiak years ago.

I hope this is satire.

i will say the sentence that made it obvious that he was being sarcastic was simply juxtoposed next to a statement that couldve gone either way.

Not if you were aware of that guy's insistence that Shanahan was nothing without Elway and Kubiak in the other thread. This was more an attempt to show him how ridiculous he sounds. How anyone could've thought for a second that I was making a serious statement is beyond me, but I guess that there's probably someone in Indianapolis making the argument as we speak.People who root for teams are idiots.

So I was correct in my assumption that this was satire. Good for me. I haven't lost my game yet.

(By the way, Dungy never really did do anything without Manning, he was quite a failure. Single-handedly making the Bucs franchise relevant? Pffft, that was all Monte Kiffen.)
happy
although i suppose shannahan found the playoffs quite a few times without elway too. meh.

yeah, that was the reason why i thought the comparison was weak enough that i called it a juxtoposition.although i suppose shannahan found the playoffs quite a few times without elway too. meh.

Most coaches come back because they are bored. Dungy has pretty much stated what his other interests are.
He won't be back.

Dungy is done. 31 years in the NFL or so is enough.Most coaches come back because they are bored. Dungy has pretty much stated what his other interests are.

Yes Benne, [url=http://footballoutsiders.com/extra-points/2009/tony-dungy-retires#comment-692883]they will tell you this in Tampa Bay[/url].

but again, gibbs had other interests (NASCAR for example) and he came back. there is something to be said for trying to rekindle your former glory.
January 14, 2009 at 06:43PM View BBCode
Yeah, i suppose thats the thing. Dungy seems like a more balanced human being than a normal NFL coach.but again, gibbs had other interests (NASCAR for example) and he came back. there is something to be said for trying to rekindle your former glory.

No, most coaches come back because they don't have the life skills to do anything else. I mean, I guess one could consider "hating on the gays" to be enough of a challenge to keep Dungy occupied for however many years he has left, but I suspect that after a couple of years of that even he'll get sick of it and be ready to get back into coaching. Seriously, football coaches put their whole lives into their game - they have nothing else to offer society. He's been really successful, he's too young to be a retiree, and his options are extremely limited. He'll be back.

If it were not likely 4 or 5 years out, I'd make an avatar bet on this.
