Bottom Line...

Saban hitched his wagon to Culpepper (not Brees)

Cam to Beck

And now Ireland/Sparano to Henne (over Orton as of right now)

Henne chokes this year, they are both FIRED!  It's not difficult concept to grasp. Every coach hitches themselves to "their QB"...when they do they live and die by him.

Sparano's job has everything to do with his results this year (i.e. playoffs or gone) and very little to do with which QB he accomplishes it with.

If we get Orton and we don't make the playoffs, it's not like Sparano will keep his job.

The difference is, if we get Orton and don't make the playoffs, Ireland could be gone as well.  We try to give Henne one more shot and don't make it, Ireland can clean house, bring in a new coaching staff and a new QB next year.

Um, Ireland is the one that passed on a QB in the draft.

Unless there are results this year, the whole front office & coaching staff (probably including Nolan, which is disappointing) will be out on their asses and Cowher/Gruden will be in with their guys.

The only difference between Sparano and Ireland is that Sparano will DEFINITELY be out, while Ireland MIGHT have a job if the new coach doesn't want to bring in his own GM.

Nolan tried going to Dallas last offseason. Ross wouldn't let him out of his contract.

Nolan is as good as gone after this season.

thats one link, in the south florida newspapers during the time it was reported Nolan was asking for his release (since Ross was courting Harbaugh anyway).....Ross said no.

That article you linked really doesn't say anything about Nolan wanting out of Miami. It also doesn't say that Ross didn't allow him to leave. Not saying that it didn't happen that way, but if you're going to link an article as support for your contentions, it should probably be linked to an article that actually supports it. Here is the quoted segment of that piece...

"League sources say Bowles' Miami Dolphins counterpart, defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, is the No. 1 target, but he's unlikely to go to Dallas because he's under contract and it's a lateral move."

Is there anything you can find that actually comes from Mike Nolan talking about wanting to go to Dallas? Or anything that quotes Ross (or other front office exec) as saying that Miami wasn't going to let Nolan out of his contract to pursue another position?

I don't have time to search the web for a 7 month old story.  You can GOOGLE if it interests you that much, I am sure it will pop up. It's old news at this point. I did a quick 2 sec search last night and that was the first thing that popped up when someone didn't believe Nolan to Dallas was even true. It was out there in January, Im sure a google search will answer all your questions. I don't have time to do research for ya.

I have given up on trying to change minds and opinions. Believe what ya want. If you don't think its true, by all means go on believing its not true! Won't effect me any

MikeO, perhaps its easier just to quote yourself from the discussions last January:

http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/forums/index.php/topic,18017.msg222047.html#msg222047

It's been reliably reported to me that Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and some of his staff would like to work their way from Miami to Dallas to join Jason Garrett. League rules prevent this from happening, but the power of persuasive talk might work. …

(fyo's note: The italicized paragraph is from the nfl.com link, quoted by MikeO in the message linked to above).

I must say I agree with the OP.  The Fins drafted a #1 OL with great potential in Pouncey, they moved up in to Rd #2 to draft Thomas, another player with potential.  They went after Bush and got him, which I never thought would happen.  They've held their ground on Orton and didn't give up a high pick for a guy that's not much of an upgrade.  They needed to pick up another QB so they got Moore as back-up, its not like they plan on starting him.  If the picks work out they have addressed several positions for years to come.  No team can ever address all positions that need improvement in a single year, I think the Fins have done a great job this off-season.  Some of you guys would complain if they won the Super Bowl by only 3 pts.
