OK I know this is a derailment but I just can't help it under the situation. It's just funny to me that a Patriot's fan is defending a Dolphin's coach to another Dolphin's fan. Not that I disagree with you Hoodie ... it just cracks me up!!!

OK back to the thread!!!

OK back to the thread!!!

I should have also mentioned that blind homerism is not a factor in my analysis of Sparono.  I actually want Ross to fire Sparano.  Another two years of upheaval in Miami benefits my team.

You guys all must be related to Sparano or something. Giving this guy so much praise for him accomplishing nothing. It's comical the guys you are comparing him too.

I really can't remember a single post that was heaping "praise" on Sparano.  Most of the posts I read just seem to think he is doing a decent enough job to keep his job.  Just as you don't feel Sparano guarantees the Fins a Super Bowl, no coach we bring in can guarantee that.  There are less than five coaches that could be brought in that MAY be an improvement over Sparano, and they would be difficult to get.  Then if you do bring in a new coach it's a tumltuous situation in the locker room with players coming and going, and it pushes the rebuild another two years out.  I believe Sparano deserves another year, perhaps you will be proven right, perhaps not, but I think keeping Sparano is the best move for the Fins.

Getting wins is difficult in the NFL.  If upgrading two players gets you two wins, you are doing damn good. 


Not when those 2 players are gonna tie up  a huge chunk of your salary cap!!!

As I stated I want Ross to fire Saprono.  I would also like the Dolphins to cut Henne.  But most importantly I want the Dolphins to use their next years first round draft pick to trade up in the first round to select the best available long snapper. 

But I can articulate why all three would not be a good idea for the Dolphins franchise. 

You can't respond to my analysis based on logic, so you're only retort is that I am trying to convince the Dolphins to make a foolish move.  Dismissing that majority of Dolphins agree with my logic.  And completely ignoring that what we say here is not going to affect the actual decision.  As if I am using this forum to convince Ross to make foolish moves.

the last 3 games will tell Sparano's fate. If we go 1-2 or 0-3 there is NO reason to bring him back. Period.

And I have responded to you numerous times with logic, we just don't agree on this issue! You clearly can't just agree to disagree and move on

sounds like you are actually willing to let the entire season play out. progress!  Grin

9 or 10 wins with piss poor qb play, and a mash unit of a football team would be a pretty miraculous feat.

what mash unit? Seriously. The COLTS have a mash unit. The Dolphins losing Vernon Carey and Brian Hartline for the season in mid December when the season was already OVER hardly is a mash unit. Every team has injuries. Miami has been lucky in the injury department this year.  I think the biggest loss up until those two was Jared Odrick who was an unproven rookie.

This is Mike O's modus operandi. If people here do not agree with his opinions, then you are obviously somehow in love with the player/coach he is pissed off at.

Shannon Sharpe on CBS said if Miami doesn't win 2 out of the final 3 he believes Sparano and Henne won't be back next year.

Don't know who or what Sharpe knows, unless the guy who sits 2 seats to his right tipped him off to some inside info because he didn't want to be the messenger when it comes to the Fins.
