After falling to the San Diego Chargers 23-17 in front of an elated crowd at Qualcomm Stadium, Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy walked off the field looking as though he had been defeated for the last time. If Dungy does retire from the NFL, it wouldn't come as much of a surprise; the Colts' coach has been giving the idea some amount of thought.

"I'll try to get over the disappointment of this loss, talk things over with my wife and see where we go from here," Dungy said.

Dungy is the first African American coach to win the Super Bowl when his Colts beat the Chicago Bears in 2007. In December of 2008 (after a win against the Jags), Dungy set a new NFL record for most consecutive playoff appearances by a head coach.
