Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy, disappointed by a 21-18 loss to Pittsburgh Sunday, Monday said he's "pretty sure" he will return next season.
The Colts faltered after a 13-0 start and finished the 2005-06 campaign with a 14-3 record. The Super Bowl favorites were knocked out of the playoffs by the Steelers despite home-field advantage.
"You have to resist the idea that something needs to be overhauled, and I think we'll do that," Dungy told the Indianapolis Star after meeting with players a final time. "If they ask me back, I'm pretty sure I'll be back."
Dungy, whose 18-year-old son James died Dec. 22 in Florida of an apparent suicide, agreed to extend his contract through 2009 during the off-season.
"That's one of maybe the blessings in my son's situation that really puts everything in perspective," he said. "You lose a game and I'm sure I'll get over this a lot faster than I'll get over my son."
