Jim Caldwell seems to be the heir apparent.

Citing a league source, Profootballtalk.com reports Colts coach Tony Dungy will step down and be replaced by assistant head coach Jim Caldwell.

Dungy isn't expected to make his decision official before next Monday, but most close to the situation have expected him to retire. Caldwell is highly regarded in the Colts' locker room, especially by Peyton Manning.

Nothing against Caldwell, but I hope this isn't true. Dungy is a class act, and I know everyone in blue loves playing for him. Despite his cool demeanor, he's a great football mind too.

Every informed pundit I've heard has said they believe Dungy is done, so there's probably fire to all that smoke. But I'll believe it when I see it too.

didn't everyone think that he was going to step down last year too
i hope he stays on, he's a great ambassador for the game

Might not be that bad of a turn of events for the Colts. If Dungy stays another year, Caldwell may take another head coaching oppurtunity.
