This time, Dungy has to get it right. This time, he might choose for the last time. In the NFL, a quarterback gets only so many receivers, and an offensive coordinator gets only so many quarterbacks, and a coach gets only so many coordinators, and a general manager gets only so many coaches. These are questions that need to be considered. Such is the weight of the next decision Dungy makes.
Careers hang in the balance.
Let me say this. It will be a sad day in this community when Dungy is no longer the coach. He has brought stability and sanity to a franchise that seemed devoid of both. He has had four straight winning seasons, and he has reached the playoffs three times. You have to have an awfully short memory not to think about those achievements in comparison with those who came before him.
