EARLY SIGNS POINT TO DUNGY DEPARTURE
ProFootballTalk.com — ... . There’s another sign pointing directly to Dungy’s departure.  Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star writes in Monday’s edition that it’s time for Dungy to go . In a city where the Colts often keep the primary newspaper in town on a choke chain, Kravitz (in our view) wouldn’t be sliding out onto that specific limb unless he already knows what Dungy is going to do. Of course, there’s also a chance that Kravitz has gotten a nudge from G.M. Bill Polian, who might want to use the transition to a new head coach as cover for the team’s looming struggles in the last capped year ...

Sports - Pancake Blocks — ... in Indianapolis: Bob Kravitz breaks out the big words: paper tigers, one and Dungy, folding, underachievers. That was yesterday. Today, he's asking for Dungy to leave . As an impartial observer, I'm surprised the Super Bowl win didn't earn more affection. Do the Colts fans out there agree? Kravitz does point out one damning stat: Dungy and Manning are under .500 in the playoffs.

This is a year of massive ...

Recap: Chargers 26-Colts 17 (The "Don't buy the hype or the hate" Edition)
Stampede Blue — Before we get into picking apart the game and the season, let's just get one small item of business out of the way. As you probably know, the Indy Star's Bob Kravitz has written (essentially) three hit pieces in a row aimed straight at Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning, and Bill Polian. With the Colts losing to the Chargers, he is now calling for Dungy's head. Now, if you were hoping for some grand, masterful tirade from me that would end with me calling Bob Kravitz a "schmuck," I'm sorry to disappoint. The truth is, I stopped reading Bob ...

Football Today -- Giants punished for finishing with best record in NFC
Projo Pats Blog — ... . Meanwhile, Bob Kravitz of the boosterish Indy Star has a column in today's newspaper saying that retirement would be the best thing for Dungy and the team, which has gone one-and-out in the playoffs four times in Dungy's tenure. The appropriate replacement, Kravitz writes, is already in-house, in the person of associate head coach Jim Caldwell. COULD BE A DIFFERENT GROUP OF COLTS: Another Indianapolis mainstay who may have appeared in his last game on Saturday night: ...

Sometimes You're Just a Bit Jaded With Success
SimonOnSports — Tony Dungy has never won less than 10 games with the Colts in 7 seasons. They have made the playoffs every year. They have won the Super Bowl once. And yet there is always at least one person who thinks that the team would be better off without him. [link]
