  • From PFT:

    As the coaching search in Oakland continues to sputter along, Jay Glazer of FOX reported on Sunday that Falcons receivers coach Terry Robiskie could be nudging closer to consideration.

    And though Robiskie is not yet on the official interview list, he reportedly has lined up a staff of assistant coaches who are all willing to join him in Oakland, if he gets the job

    Seriously???

    In Indy, speculation mounts that Dungy will be announcing his retirement soon. Where do they turn for a new HC? It is a much different situation than other teams face in that they have the roster to win right now. I doubt Manning has the patience to wait for a 32 year old first time HC get up to speed. Do they promote a coordinator for a year? Do they bring in Shanahan?

  • Colts QB coach Jim Caldwell is said to be the head coach in waiting; they even gave him the title of "Associate Head Coach" last offseason.

    If Dungy retires, Caldwell should be the guy taking over.

  • I wonder what would happen if everyone just flat out refused to coach or play for the guy.

    Would the Raiders lose by forfeit every game or would the NFL strip ownership of the franchise from him?

    3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

    Saap basically said Cable is an idiot who knows almost nothing about football beyond his confined area of expertise. Nice guy, though.

    The Raiders are so screwed. Terry Robiskie? God, that's sad. And people around here complained about Eric Mangini, the most qualified coaching candidate out there... at 38. We're gonna look back on this and realize what a huge get he was.

    Yeah, Caldwell is already the anointed HC in Indy.

    Two words...

  • Sources: Colts coach Dungy is stepping down

    by Jay Glazer

    Tony Dungy is stepping down as head coach of the Colts — at least that's what he's telling those inside the team headquarters, sources told FOXSports.com.

    While the team has scheduled a 5 p.m. press conference, Dungy is walking around the team's complex saying goodbye to players and team employees and informing them that the transition should be a smooth one for new coach Jim Caldwell.

    According to one source, Dungy explained that he has talked it over with his family and they believed this was the proper time to step down, while the Colts' nucleus was still intact.

    Dungy is perhaps the most respected head coach among peers and players of this era. He won a Super Bowl two seasons ago and at that time many thought he would step down. Again last year it was predicted by some he would step down, but he decided instead to pick his predecessor and stay on for one more year.

    Dungy's Indianapolis tenure will finish after seven seasons with a record of 92-33, and a postseason berth in all seven years with the club.

    Seems like a pretty good resume to me, esp. for a guy not yet 40.
