okay, i get protecting your own, but what sparano said has me scracthing my head. here is a qoute from the miami herald.  (when asked what he thought of mr. henning and the dolphins 31st ranking in points scored).

“I think that Dan Henning, for Tony Sparano, has been tremendous,”  I think the guy has done a wonderful job during my time here. I look at the entire body of work, you guys just look at the last three or four games".

"I look at the whole body of work and this guy has done a tremendous job. He’s the same guy that we were all talking about, ‘Man oh man, he finds the ways to use the personnel to the best of their ability.’ That was you people saying that not me. So I would tell you for Tony Sparano Dan Henning has been tremendous. It's easy to point blame, fellas, and I get it. it comes with the territory. That's the way it goes. I need to do a better job. Tony Sparano needs to do a better job.”

now, keep in mind what brandon marshall said yesterday about about the play of the offense: from the coaches on down. and what some bills players said about the miami offense " playing for a field goal". i think sparano has run his coase in miami. himself and henning turned a gimmick offense into a gimmie-a-asprin offense. i liked the guy until i read this article. i think mr. sparano needs to move on. 

if he thinks dan henning has been "tremendous" than how does he think the dolphins have been? tremendous? that doesnt leave a whole lot of inspiration for next year if he thinks a sub .500 team is tremendous. tony could have stepped away and said that he see's a need for a new direction to this offense or he has been dissapointed in the play of the offense or he expects more from this offense, but NO....he said henning has been tremendous... what a joke. 31st in the league in scoring and it's TREMENDOUS!!!!!!  what the hell????? with a top 5 defense this team should atleast be in the hunt for the play-offs. our play off hope have been slim-to-none for a few weeks now. how tremendous is that mr. sparano? i dont want either back next year and they can take their defunct QB with them.
