— Tony Dungy didn't need much time to get a new job.

Eight days after being fired in Tampa Bay, Dungy reached an agreement in principle to coach the Indianapolis Colts and a formal introduction is expected today.

Colts owner Jim Irsay said the deal is for five years and will pay Dungy about $13 million.

"He was by far the best candidate out there," Irsay said. "Tony is a proven winner and an ideal type leader who we want to represent the horseshoe."
