After seven seasons and an 85-27 regular season record and one Super Bowl title, Indianapolis Colts’ head coach, Tony Dungy said “the time is right” and is walking away from the sidelines.

Dungy will be replaced by assistant head coach Jim Caldwell who has been waiting in the wings waiting for a final decision.

Caldwell is extremely familiar with Dungy’s system having worked under him in Tampa Bay in 2001 then traveling to the Colts’ organization in 2002 as quarterback coach.

Dungy has had an illustrious career being the only NFL head coach to ever compile six straight 12-win seasons and 10 consecutive playoff seasons.

Caldwell signed a four-year deal. You can see his video press conference here.
