From his latest article about the 10 NFL Truths:

8. At what point is it appropriate to wonder about Tony Dungy's relaxed coaching schedule?

You do remember that Coach Dungy nearly retired during the offseason? Jim Irsay convinced Dungy to stay by offering him the flexibility to spend more time with his family during the offseason and during the season.

The Colts are 1-2 and have lost two games at home. So far, the blame for the slow start is being pinned on Bob Sanders' injury, Peyton Manning's absence during the preseason and Marvin Harrison's decline.

Without Sanders, the Colts can't stop the run. Manning's been a bit rusty. And Harrison is playing like a 36-year-old man who spent the offseason settling disputes at his Philly tavern.

No one, to my knowledge, has spent any time speculating about Dungy's role in this mess.

Let me add, I'm not bailing on my prediction that the Colts will win the Super Bowl. As long as they sneak into the playoffs, they'll be fine. Dungy will figure this out.

I've speculated

his role in it many times. Nobody ever wants to hear about it though.

Irsay didn’t convince Dungy to do anything fyi.

persuaded or sweetened the deal for him to

would be far more acceptable descriptions.

Dungy-part time

Yeah,sure infosizing that Dungy isn’t there full time.

With comments like what was posted makes you think what they think Jim Caldwell’s role is and/or they don’t realize he is going to be the coach when Dungy does decided to hang it up.

Infosizing? What the hell does that mean? Did you mean emphasizing?
