stuckincincy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh well. I know. Retiring at age 53. The millions of dollars earned and due, the years of being praised, having a fun job with travel paid, lifetime residual benefits. Nice gig if you get it.

ricojes Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 How long til someone starts a thread that maybe he'll want to come to Buffalo I'm sure it won't be long....But the main reason he left is because his family still resides in Tampa. He almost called it quits last year as well, but decided to give it another go. I don't see him taking another job any time soon, unless it's Tampa again. As far is Indy is concerned, their front office and structure is so solid that I don't believe they are panicking at all over the announcement. They'll probably hire from within and ride Payton for as long as they can. I actually didn't think they were that good of a team this year, I think this may have been Dungy's most impressive year as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Little Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The next time we see Dungy, it'll be six years from now in Canton, Ohio. He won't coach again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 He must stink, because the players really like him, and say great things about him. At least that's the impression I get from many posters on The Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Manning but what has he really won? On their Super Bowl run, he threw 3 tds and 7 ints. He's pretty much been anti-clutch in college and the pros.

Lv-Bills Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Jesus. With the state of our team, does a record with the Colts of 92-33 not look unreal to some of you? I look at that and flat at marvel at how good they have had it under Dungy. And now back to reality......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 NFL HC Playoff W-L Pct. Tony Dungy is 46th all-time with a .474 play-off winning pct. (9-10) Still, better than Marty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 He also doesn't scream so it is obvious he doesn't care about winning. Your not so subtle attempt at sticking it to the Dick Jauron haters is laughable. Jauron is an idiot. There's a very good reason why Bills fans have unmercifully mocked this player friendly coaching trait. It's because being liked by the players was clearly one of the reasons he was kept on as head coach. It certainly wasn't because of his performance which is what we base our opinions of the players. The Bills lost 8 of their last 10 games and it CERTAINLY DID NOT look like their coach cared. Dungy proved he was a very good head coach in Tampa winning 4 out of the 6 years he was there. Teaming him with Polian and Manning gave him an almost unbeatable combination were it not for the Patriots. The only thing that Dick has proven is that he sucks as a head coach. Let's get freaking real here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Middleton's hit against Cowart termed 'unethical' by Bills Tampa Bay head coach Tony Dungy disagreed. Cowart was blitzing on the play and when Middleton went to cut him, Cowart shifted direction to follow Bucs quarterback Shaun King, Dungy said. Replays showed that Cowart was at the line of scrimmage when he was hit by Middleton, nowhere near King who was scrambling 10 yards deep in the backfield before he threw the ball away. Dungy stood by what he saw. "After looking at the tape I don't feel like our guy did anything illegal or not in the framework of our rules," he said. ============================== !@#$ Tony Dungy.

Ozymandius Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Maybe the Colts will trade us two 7th rounders to get Jauron as their coach. He's another player's coach who has familiarity with the Cover 2. It'll be like when Tampa Bay replaced Dungy with Gruden and traded 2 first rounders to do so.

8-8 Forever? Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 He also doesn't scream so it is obvious he doesn't care about winning. I was just about to make the point that " Jauron is exactly like Dungy" when I saw these posts. Inspired posts, they were. If we had Manning, we'd be winning like crazy, too.

It was a cheap shot- by Dungy did the right thing by publicly sticking with his guy- I know fans tend to like anarchy and controversy, but there is a reason that people like Tony Dungy are better than those type of people (not saying you are part of that crowd). That type of play is not typical of a Dungy coached team. Bottom line is that Dungy will be in enshrined in Canton in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
