Dolphins coach Tony Sparano is unlikely to be replaced this week, according to a source. Monday night's loss to the Jets was especially harmful to Sparano's tenure. His team lost in horrible fashion after a bye week, and against a team that had lost three in a row. "Tonight was brutal," a club source told Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. That is bad for coach because owner Stephen Ross, who last week gave him something of a midseason vote of confidence, was apparently very, very disappointed, and the disappointment was augmented by the fact Ross sees it as something of another home loss because New York is his home. "It is fair to say that the fuse is burning," the source told Salguero. However, the fact this is a short week, with the Dolphins returning to the field on Sunday only five days from now, makes a change significantly less likely, the source said. Source: Miami Herald
Wonder if Mike Nolan will be the interim coach when they face off against the G-Men on October 30th? A loss against Denver may seal Sparano's fate.
I think he'll make it most of the way through the season. The real house cleaning is at the end of the season. Axes aplenty.
Seriously though...how does Ross sit there and watch Sparano run his team off the field with a timeout in his pocket and plenty of time to attempt to move the ball at the end of the first half of the Jets game last night. The dude is a freaking nightmare...
Ross knows it...look how that moron went about trying to find a replacement...he knows Sparano isn't head coach material, he just went about finding a replacement the wrong way...but the effort was there.
Fire him and and give Bowles an audition Nolan isnt HC matirial, Bowles is. If Nolan doesnt like it, oh well
