DUNGY DECISION COMING IN 24 HOURS

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that Colts coach Tony Dungy is back in Indianapolis and will meet on Sunday with owner Jim Irsay. Per Mort, an answer regarding whether Dungy will return for 2009 should be announced within the next 24 hours. That said, there’s something about the reported procedure that seems odd to us. Dungy plans to confer with his wife after talking to Irsay and before letting Irsay know what he plans to do. But why does talking to Irsay have anything to do with Dungy’s ultimate plans? If we didn’t know better, we’d think that Dungy was trying to squeeze even more money and/or consideration out of Irsay before making a final decision.
