Title: Tony Sparano to the Raiders... Post by: bsfins on January 23, 2013, 02:28:46 pm Per Adam Schefter
The Oakland Raiders have hired former Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano as their assistant head coach/offensive line.

Title: Re: Tony Sparano to the Raiders... Post by: Dave Gray on January 24, 2013, 10:54:52 am I think that Sparano might be suffering from the Peter Principle, where you're good at your job and then you get promoted to your level of incompetence.
Title: Re: Tony Sparano to the Raiders... Post by: Sunstroke on January 24, 2013, 11:09:07 am ^^^ Wouldn't it be the opposite of the Peter Principle? He went from being a HC in MIami, to being an OC in New York, and now he's back to being an O-Line coach in Oakland. Title: Re: Tony Sparano to the Raiders... Post by: Dave Gray on January 24, 2013, 11:24:29 am No, it means that he was good as a line coach at one time, then was promoted to a higher level coach where he sucked. Now that he's back as a line coach, maybe he'll be good again.

I think that was more due to the incompetence of the big TUNA than it was Sparano deserving a coaching promotion. Title: Re: Tony Sparano to the Raiders... Post by: Landshark on January 24, 2013, 04:31:48 pm If he was such a great offensive line coach, then how come the Dolphins offensive line play declined every year while he was here??
