Will the Miami Dolphins Fire Tony Sparano?

the Dolphins will not fire SP this week, he is safe for now. I am in agreement to keep him for the season. a change right now wont help this teams spirit. If this team wont play for TS then who right now.

but i also think that it probably doesn’t really hurt anything at this point to give him until the midway point in the season, so I wouldn’t be too surprised to see Tony coaching the Jets game in two weeks.

I said it in LCFF’s post game report and I’m coming round even stronger to it now: put everyone out of their misery and move him on now.

I really think having him around will do more harm than good. At least with Nolan running the training until seasons end the players might re-engage with the team this season. If nothing else it gets their heads back in the game and they start wrapping up tackles, communicating on downs, etc.

the season is all but gone at this point. Lets start the head coaching search but leave the change till the off season, last thing we want to do is rush into a new change.

he wants to be SURE of a Top 3 pick and draft a franchise guy because he sees whart Cam Newton is doing for the Panthers.

unless this team wins every game for the rest of the season…I don’t see Sparano here next year.

Nolan might actually motivate these guys to 4 wins this year which does not help this franchise

I would like to see Ireland get fired as well.

clean house and start over.

Ross should take this opportunity to really put his stamp on this team, completely overhaul the organization.

Too often people stick with tired old structures from previous regimes. Get creative Ross, let’s see you perform, show us how you made your billions.

so he can start the heads rolling. Why wait until the jets game? Do it today and let the interrim guy…Karl Dorrell for all I care….start game planning for the jets. Hey, everybody on the team seems to be phoning it in anyhow.

Problem is, even if we fall to 32 and get the first pick of the draft, I can see some of our contributors here saying "We need to rebuild the O-line and the D so lets pick some lineman like Jake Long!!’ Screw that! Get Luck no matter what !!

that’ll give them a long week to get the interim coach situated. but I think you have to fire Sparano before the season to see if players respond to a different voice and use that as an evaluation tool.

my kinda outside the box coach wishlist: Rob Ryan, Mike Leech.

both Ryans in the same division would be too much fun, and Leech already lives down here and is an innovative offensive mind.
out of the retreads, I kind of lean towards Fisher. I always respected his work in Tennessee. all that roster turnover and he kept them competitive.

we might be able to trade Marshall to the Cowgirls for a 1st and 3rd, take Luck with our first, a right tackle with their 1st, a good Saftey with our 2nd, and bolster defense with the rest, get Rob Ryan as head coach, he is defensive minded and get the Chip Kelly from Oregon to be our OC. Problem solved.

Bitch, moan, cry, wring their hands, say what they want, etc,,,but Ross will do what ever he feels is right and whatever he wants and no one else can change it so just get over it or buy the team. Frankly from what I’’m reading on this site I sure am glad most of you do not own the team. Damn we would have to fire everyone and then you would complain about why we let so and so go.

The way they treated him in the offseason made him a lame duck HC regardless of the extension. They basically said “we don’t think you’re good enough” and then said “but we’ll keep you for a while longer.” I think it will be very hard for him to turn anything around as it does seem as though he’s lost the locker room and that is never a good thing.

I’m not sure what the basis for that statement is, Mosul. Maybe he can be a good position coach. Maybe a quality control coach, since he loves the numbers.

But I don’t see anything more than that in the guy. He’s demonstrably not HC material, and I don’t think he’d cut it as a coordinator, either.

He’s the one to coach the Dolphins!!

=)

If (when) we get throttled by the jets, he will be released the next week, I always said the jets game would be his fate, but yes it’s time, he looks defeated, his head is down in pressers and the team has packed it in.

hire GARY STEVENS

But he has lost his heart. LCFF said it himself; he is a different man. The fist pump is the last bit of the Tony we loved in 08. Im sad to say it but I want him gone RIGHT NOW.

Give Daboll the 2 weeks to get set up instead of having him have to rush in one week rush and fix this mess of a team.

when it makes sense to do it….then maybe or maybe, or please, pretty please he can throw us fans a bone and get rid of ireland now…

the reality of the situation is – parcells let this organization down.

he didn’t stay, until the job was finished.
he didn’t hire the best coach available (said that when he interviewed sexy rexy he knew rex would be a great coach but owed it to tony)
and he made a scout GM, when he had no people skills.

it’s sad to say but the team isn’t much better then when cam left it. ZERO playmakers. No QB, and a terrible coaching staff, that is trying to play 1991 football in 2011.

and ross turned down cowher last year because he didn’t want to get rid of ireland….

well the first step to getting a quality head coach (instead of an average/below average on – not terrible mind you) besides firing the existing head coach before searching for a new one would be to get rid of the gm.

Soooo many coaching mistakes that cost us the game? How about Sean Smith’s play this whole season costing us BIG plays, not even looking for the ball, flopping around like RAG DOLL on almost every play.
He is just a big long lengthy cluts out there.

TS actually kept us in the game vs the Browns, along with Daboll, and Jimmy Wilson took the blame for mistiming his jump on the final TD play, so how is that TS fault?

How is it his fault DC used to be DC$, and now cant hit a 20-30 yd FG but can nail a 55?

I dont believe TS is right for us, maybe back in the 80s or 90s, but to blame him for loosing the Browns game is just absurd. You make no logical sense if u really watched the game you have no football IQ.

“The Browns game was the straw that broke TS back. There were so many coaching mistakes it drove me crazy. Because was the better team they out played the browns just to fall apart with poor coaching decisions.”

And Im almost positive Teddy Ginn would have won us atleast one game this year, like he single handidly beat the jets, and more recently set another record in San Fran and won the game.
