Dungy consider leaving NFL

Coach or American Football team,Tony Dungy intends to spend the first full week of his offseason deliberating whether to return or retire from the NFL.

"I've really enjoyed the season and being a foottball coach,it was really a unique challenge to be 3-4 and then see our team really come together the way that it has to make the playoffs." said Dungy

Coach Dungy said when he leaves the NFL he will do so with the expectation of never returning either NFL or any football.

Dungy has taken this same approach the past four years. Each time, Dungy acknowledged, he began the playoffs with the belief he would retire at the end of the postseason. But he has changed his mind each time.

Dungy said he would almost certainly be quitting if this year's experiment of the Colts providing a private plane for him to use to travel from Indianapolis to Tampa for his son's high school football games had not gone so smoothly.

The Colts are prepared for Dungy's eventual retirement and have formulated a plan of succession in which quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell will become head coach. Dungy said that has removed much of the burden he might feel in informing the Colts of his decision.
