The Indianapolis Colts today announced the team is accepting resumes for both its Tony Dungy Coaching Fellowship and the Harriet P. Irsay Fellowship for Women in Football programs for the 2026 season.
The Tony Dungy Fellowship Program affords coaching candidates the opportunity to gain valuable experience as they progress in their careers. The fifth-year program provides the Colts with access to talented coaches. The fellowship is named in honor of Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dungy, the winningest head coach in Colts history, who became the first Black head coach to win a Super Bowl after leading Indianapolis to a victory over the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI.

The Harriet P. Irsay Fellowship for Women in Football Program affords a fellowship in a football operations department or coaching. The fellowship is named in honor of Harriet P. Irsay, the late grandmother of Colts Owner & CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Owner & Executive Vice President Casey Foyt and Owner & Chief Brand Officer Kalen Jackson. The fourth-year program provides the Colts with access to high potential candidates to contribute to their football operation.

The goal of both programs is to create a pipeline of qualified employees that have successfully completed this program to be considered for future more senior positions with Indianapolis and other NFL clubs.
Qualified candidates for both positions will be evaluated and interviewed by a selection committee composed of the Irsay family, General Manager Chris Ballard, Head Coach Shane Steichen and other members of the Colts coaching staff and football operations team.
The team also will continue to fill positions through the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship, which provides coaches the opportunity to utilize training camps, offseason workout programs and minicamps to further their careers.
