Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly may have changed his mind about coaching at the pro level after watching Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick perform in the divisional round playoffs last weekend, according to former NFL head coach Tony Dungy. "Could it be that Chip Kelly watched the playoffs and watched Russell Wilson run a little bit of his read option in the spread offense, and watched Colin Kaepernick run a little bit more of it?" Dungy said. Dungy added he believes Kelly watched the playoffs thinking, "My offense is way farther advanced than that, and maybe if this is going through the NFL, it might not be so tough."

Former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy said during a radio interview the team should select Stanford QB Andrew Luck in the NFL Draft if they have the opportunity.

"If it gets to the point to where, hey, he comes back and it looks like he's gonna play three or four more years, and you say - we've got Andrew Luck, we've got an asset - we trade him (indicating Manning)."

Wooten said, "They called Tony about three weeks ago to see if he would seriously consider becoming their president. He told them he wanted to pray and sleep on it but the next day he called them back and said he wanted to stick with everything he was doing now. He would have been the guy, I believe, if he had wanted to do it."

ESPN.com reports former NFL head coach Tony Dungy said Tuesday, Oct. 13, he is not currently interested in taking on a front-office role. "No, probably not," Dungy told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. "I mean, you never say never but I had a great job in football (that I left) to pursue my mission right now. That's my focus. There was a reason I stepped down from my job with the Colts. And I had an opportunity to stay on board there in a front-office capacity." The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reportedly have shown interest in adding Dungy to their organization. "My answer is I don't know anything about it," Dungy said. "I have absolutely not been contacted by the Bucs, formally or informally in the organization."
