88Comrade2000 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Well, the Colts get a makeup for last years disaaster. They now have the AFC Championship at home and against the team that has tormented them so long. If they can't win it and make it to the superbowl; will Dungy get the ax? I think he should. This is the perfect opportunity for the Colts to finally make it to the superbowl and if they don't make it; Dungy must go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinsNation Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I think the Colts will win this game on Sunday and win by double digits. But...if somehow the Pats win I think Dungy is done. I mean he has an offense that is tops in the league and he is "supposed" to be a defense guru...or was at TB when he was there. I like Dungy i just think they will make a change if they lose again in the AFC Champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skinsmatic Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 if they do fire Dungy the redskins should immediately move joe to CEO and hire dungy as hc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOSS89 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Dungy wont let his team lose to them in the playoffs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reic Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Dungy wont let his team lose to them in the playoffs again. Yeah, Dungy is going to go 23/25 for 321 yards and 4 TDs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampi Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Dungy wouldn't get fired even if they lose, but that ain't gonna happen. The Colts will be on fire and the Pats are gonna get an ars whuppin like they've never had before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I think its a mistake to fire anyone that loses to a dynasty. Who else is going to beat the Pats? It's almost unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanatic684 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yeah I don't think there's any way that happens. It's not like the Marty situation, because Marty has a bad relationship with the Chargers GM. I think the Colts and Polian love Dungy, so he's not going anywhere.

Die Hard Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 People here are way too reactionary. Fans are ready to fire coaches at half time of games of Super Bowls. Dungy isn't going anywhere. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMason Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Dungy has a history of "choking", but what the heck can he do? The only teams he's lost to in the past three years have gone on to win the superbowl! Patriots, Patriots again, and then the Steelers. Yeah, it sucks that they lost, but again. These teams were "hot". Nothing was going to stop them from winning the superbowl--it was just their year, you know? Hopefully this year it's finally Dungy's turn. Anything's better than having the Patriots win again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roanoker Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Indy would be nuts to fire Dungy. He's probably the best thing that's happened to that city in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous. I wouldn't be so sure...he's had a ton of success in the past 5 seasons (averages 12 wins a year) but with the team that he has (especially the team he had last season) he has to be on a short leash. He'll probably stick around one more season win or lose, but if he does it again next year, he'll probably get the axe. I wouldn't be surprised to see him fired this year, either. This is a results-driven league...there aren't very many Bill Cowhers out there (repeated success over a long period of time but no SB victory) because of it. Keep in mind also that Tony's Tampa career ended after a playoff season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure... and the Bucs went on to win with Dungy's team the next season and then have been miserable since. The Bucs would take Dungy back in a heartbeat. There are some franchies who might not appreciate success... and fire a coach for winning everything but the Super Bowl. I don't see the Colts being that kind of franchise.

Anything's better than having the Patriots win again. The only thing I'll say is it will be really tough if the Colts lose at home two years in a row in the AFC Championship game. The games they lost in the postseason to the Patriots, those were in New England, so I guess you can give the Colts a a pass on those. But a loss at home last year to the Steelers, and if they lose this weekend to New England at home again, that's really rough. I still don't think Dungy should be fired for it, but I think he might start feeling some heat, even though it would be unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Although I doubt he gets the ax this year. I would not discount the possibility. Dungy built one of the great defenses in Tampa Bay. Every year the team seemed to get stronger, yet lost one more game each season. They reached the playoffs 4 of the 6 seasons, but could never get to the Super Bowl. Ownership felt he just couldn't get them to the big dance and fired him. The following year, Gruden came in with most of the same talent and won it all! Indy already had their offense and offensive coaching staff in place, just needed a defensive coach bring them up to snuff with the offense. Dungy seemed to be the perfect fit. Due to many offensive players salaries, he has attempted to build the defense through the draft. In his 5 seasons in Indy he has used 2 of their 4 first round picks on defense, 5 second rounders, 5 third rounders and 4 fourth rounders. The offense is still tops, yet the defense ranks at or near the bottom in many categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the Colts being that kind of franchise. Yeah - I've always been of the opinion that the Bucs fired Dungy too soon, and that it was basically his team that won the SB the next year (and Dungy would have won if he was still the coach as well). However I was just using that as an example of the win-now mentality of the NFL these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
