((HT: KOB-TV/Albuquerque))

It's now UNM Head coach Mike Locksley's turn to learn along with NBC analyst Tony Dungy...

For whatever that's worth...

Maybe it means that Locksley is in line for the Buffalo Bills job after the season is over...

Here's where we find out what Locksley can learn in all of this...

Will they get what they paid for...???

Jeff Fisher isn't that Funny

Apparently members of the Tennessee Titans organization are just chock full of bad ideas this season. The Coach, Jeff Fisher tried to do something that he thought would be humorous while introducing former Indianapolis Colts Coach Tony Dungy at a speaking engagement in Nashville. He dressed in a Peyton Manning Colts Jersey. While it drew some laughter from the crowd and from Dungy, the Titan nation...was not pleased. Nor were they happy about the quote that preceded the unveiling "I just wanted to feel like a winner".

This was an odd act from an otherwise incredibly stable, understated coach. Fisher isn't known for bold outbursts, being overly colorful or anything else. He's the longest tenured coach in the NFL right now for a reason, he's been consistently successful with the Titans, a team almost always in playoff contention. This season hasn't been very kind though, last week they lost to New England 59-0 and head into their bye week 0-5.

Vick Faces The Philly Media

Flanked by Eagles head coach Andy Reid and former Colts head coach and mentor Tony Dungy, Michael Vick faced the Philadelphia media.

Interesting to hear how Donovan McNabb was part of the process to bring Vick to the Eagles.

On the surface he appears to be very humbled but prison and losing football plus the millions of dollars that come with being a starting quarterback in the NFL will do that.

Dungy, Harrison Join The Peacock

Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison's Super Bowl TV auditions during NBC's Super Bowl coverage this past February paid off. Both will getting full time gigs on the Peacock's Football Night In America Sunday Night pre game show. The NBC television network announced both would join the show.

Of course that means also that the Bus is leaving the show. Jerome Bettis confirmed Tuesday he would not be returning to the show.

On a media call Wednesday, Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Sports and Executive Producer, “NBC Sunday Night Football" said.

“Over the past few years I’ve enjoyed getting to know Tony through numerous production meetings and his work on our Super Bowl coverage, and have been impressed by the way he handled himself not only as a coach and communicator but more so as a human being What I learned is that in addition to his obvious Super Bowl credentials, Tony is a gifted storyteller. That was confirmed by his outstanding work on our Super Bowl studio show."

“Rodney is someone we’ve had our eye on. He is a strong communicator and personality, and our initial thoughts about him were confirmed when he did a terrific job for us at the Super Bowl. We have no doubt that Rodney will be as hard-hitting with his opinions as he was with his body on the football field."

“To paraphrase one of his teammates, ‘Rodney was born for the camera.’”

Those of us at the OSG HQ like the moves. The "Bus" sputtered way to often and was in over his head with Chris Collinsworth and Tiki Barber. Dungy is solid and Harrison wasn't bad either. All Football Night In America needs is a Don Cherry type and no Keith Olbermann doesn't qualify.

Dungy Meets With 7

((HT: CP))

Michael Vick and Tony Dungy met Tuesday at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., where the former star quarterback is imprisoned.

"It was a private meeting between Mike and coach Dungy and a positive meeting," said Vick's agent, Joel Segal.

Dungy retired as the Colts' coach in January, two years after leading Indianapolis to a Super Bowl title. He has long been involved in prison ministries.

Vick is serving a 23-month sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting conspiracy. He is to be transferred May 21 to home confinement in Hampton, Va. Vick is to stay in Hampton through July 31. He'll work a $10-an-hour construction job as part of his probation.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said Vick must show genuine remorse and demonstrate he has changed if he is to have a chance at reinstatement.

"Where my heart is, is really with our young men right now," Dungy said when he retired. "We have so many guys that didn't grow up like me, didn't have their dad there and that's something I'm very, very interested in."

Tony Dungy Retires

There are some gentlemen you come across that when they know it's time to move on and do other things in their life, you just get that vibe from them, appreciate their place and what they've done, applaud, and see them off.

That's the vibe we get here at OSG HQ after Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy announced his retirement Monday from football.

He's off to reach more people in other ways...
More power to him and his family...
