Tony Dungy Will Return to the Colts Sidelines

Just to ease any concerns you have about Tony Dungy returning to the sidelines next year. It's official ... The Dunge back.

"Obviously, you want to come back. You want to defend the title. We've got such a great group of guys, that that's eventually what draws you back every year," Dungy said in advance of the NFL Scouting Combine. "I wouldn't say it was an easy decision, but it was the right one, and it didn't take overly long to make."

Obviously, that's great news for Colts fans ... if Dungy hadn't come back, the Colts might have had to do something insane like ... oh, I dunno ... hire Norv Turner.

All told, a pretty nice off-season day for Colts fans. Dwight Freeney gets the franchise tag, so he's around another year. Tony Dungy announces he's coming back, so that's nice. And a chief AFC rival hires Norv Turner, essentially saying, "Nah, you go on ahead to the Super Bowl. We'll sit this one out."
