Tony Dungy has indicated he'll let the Colts know sometime today whether he plans to return for the 2008 season or step aside and have assistant head coach Jim Caldwell take over as head coach.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Colts owner Jim Irsay believes Dungy is leaning toward coming back, but the owner doesn't know for sure.
Please follow the wires on the Dungy situation. Unlike Best, who spends his days scouring websites and making calls in his basement in his jammies, we actually get out of the house and cover things. We need to get back from Giants-Packers, so we'll be incommunicado for a bit. I'm not sure if there will be a ceremony at the airport, but I'll let you know if we're greeted by screaming throngs of Giants fans welcoming their writers home.
Please visit Best's blog. He is leading the Newsday sports blogs for the month, and it really means a lot to him. We'd like to do everything possible to make sure he wins, because if he doesn't, he will pull a Nick Hardwick and whine about it.
