They need to extend Tony's contract at least two more seasons.....we cannot have a lame duck coach under any circumstances
What are free agents going to think? why would they sign when they no the coach will be gone in 2012....
And just how magically is this supposed to happen ? What CREDIBLE offensive coordinator is going to come here ? People on this board are just delusional if they think everything will just be that easy to fix. You will have no FA QB that will be worth anything that wants to come here. Its a shame but Ross has just destroyed this teams fanbase, and I just don't see how more than 35-40,000 turn out for any game including Pats & Jets. Its the saddest day I can remember as a lifelong DolFan.
I am not so sure we should jump to conclusions...Unless I missed something, the ESPN report came from Chris Mortensen who was late and frankly wrong on some info earlier in the week. The article posted on ESPN says Ross did in fact talk to the agent when he flew south. I do not think this courtship is over just yet... "Ross resumed the meeting Thursday night with Harbaugh's agent, David Dunn, in Southern California after the Dolphins owner traveled south to satisfy an unrelated business commitment following his meeting with Harbaugh, the sources said." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5997519
how do you figure? when this all happened guys like glazer and schefter were all talking about how places like michigan and uconn would be jumping all over him when fired. He is not a bad coach in the national eye. I hear it every day from the charlotte nc radio hosts that they respect him and hes a "good young coach" i hear it daily.
dude he looks like a straight ***** if he stays.....Please Tony I like you as a guy, man up and tell this franchise to go screw themselves...
Please, now you are just trying to spin anything and everything because you are upset we didn't get harbaugh :'( You know damn well if your boss was looking to fill your spot while you were still employed publicly, you'd be pretty pissed off. In fact even if ross told sparano hey if we get harbaugh you are gone, is still putting him through ****. I don't claim victimhood, but it is what it is. They should have announced publicly if sparano was going let go or not. Would have killed that out of control media dont you think? Either because of ross's actions sparano looks like a joke now.
come on tony,do it! give this org a big f u and put the icing on the cake.i would so quit and leave this franchise in more disarray.i wonder what this fiasco will do to f.a for us.it is hard pressed to think anyone with half a brain would want to come here now.that goes for coaches as well,who's going to want to come here to be the o.c/qb coach/o-line coach/wr coach?three top hc candidates won't touch us with a 20 foot pole even with ross's money flaunted at them..that is going to have a trickle down effect imo. tony could last all of next season or he could be shown the door after 3 games.thats a extremely tough position to put your coach in.
If I were Sparano, I would be secretly be contacting the two teams interested in him and then accept their offer. Tell Mr. Ross to **** off. That would be the manly thing to do. Let this whole thing back fire on Ross.
