The Facts:
Assistant HC Jim Caldwell would replace Tony Dungy if the Indianapolis Colts coach retires, team owner Jim Irsay said Thursday night. Irsay hopes Dungy will return and expects to speak to him this weekend. Irsay has no doubt that Dungy's commitment will be "100 percent" if he continues coaching. "That's the type of guy he is," Irsay said. Otherwise, he said, "Jim Caldwell would be the guy."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Caldwell has been an assistant to Dungy the last seven years -- one in Tampa Bay and the last six with the Colts, where he has coached quarterback Peyton Manning. Caldwell filled in for Dungy for one game in 2005 following the death of Dungy's 18-year-old son, James. ... In case you missed it, Dungy denied a Profootballtalk.com report indicating he's already decided to retire.
