There's a decent chance Tony Dungy will retire if the Colts win the Super Bowl. Of all the repeated storylines on loop this week, Dungy's possible departure has received surprisingly little play.

Dungy has talked about retirement openly in the past. He previously said he planned to retire to pursue other interests at the age of 50. He's currently 51.

The possibility got me thinking: Who would land the Colts job if Dungy left?

Assistant head coach Jim Caldwell is a favorite of the organization and would likely be considered. Bears coordinator Ron Rivera's familiarity with the Cover Two defense would make him a natural fit. With Tom Moore still around, the offense wouldn't need much tweaking.

There is no doubt the Colts job is among the best in football. Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne are still in their prime. Bob Sanders and Joseph Addai are just getting started. If Dungy was concerned about his legacy, it would be a tough team to leave.

But when Tony Dungy says his career and life aren't defined by wins and losses, you believe him. When he says he has plans to make a difference after football, you know it's not just hot air. A year after his son's tragic suicide, Dungy showed a great deal of perservence to return to football, and then pulled off his best coaching job yet.

Perhaps Dungy doesn't need a win Sunday to define who he is as a man, but it would complete his life in football. Then he'd be free to move on to more important matters.
