Dungy ‘ready to move forward on Monday one way or the other’ (ESPN News Services)

Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy told the gathered press Monday that he and his wife will mull over his coaching future over the next week and formally decide then.

“My wife and I will sit down and evaluate this week and talk about it, talk it through,” he said during his media availability Monday afternoon at the Colts’ complex. “We’ll probably do a lot of praying about what we want to do.

“We’ll probably come to some decision this weekend and be ready to move forward on Monday one way or the other.”

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported last week that the team’s braintrust — owner Jim Irsay and GM Bill Polian — presented Dungy with several options in order to persuade him to stay on the Colts sidelines.

According to Antonen, Mitchell sent and e-mail to USA TODAY that he sent union officials stating what players he wanted to talk to for the investigation.
