I've seen alot of inquiry about "press conference." It is not a press conference. Live video stream will NOT be provided. http://twitter.com/finsjesse
Anyone care t speculate on what Ross may say? "Tony, I did my damndest to get rid of you. I left no stone unturned, and embarrassed you in the process." "Yet, you are still the coach and, on top of that, you got me for a two year extension which will cost me millions." "YOU BASTARD, WELL DONE!!!" LMAO
TONY: " I changed my mind Steve, after the way you left me hanging by my fingernails and embarrassed me ,I`m done".
Well this press release just popped up on the Dophins website. http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/dolphins-extend-tony-sparanos-contract-through-2013-season Check out the last goofy paragraph about Ross making an impression. More from the theater of the absurd that is the Dolphins.
I`m starting to think Ross was going to keep Sparano all along. He just went through all the motions to try and satisfy all the people who said they`re giving up on the Dolphins unless a change is made.( season ticket holders, marketing sales etc. )
Don't believe that spin for 1 minute! That old man fired up his jet flew 5 hours through the middle of the night and got left at the alter.
"We drafted the Ginn family," Cameron said. "Ted Ginn and his family will give us everything they have." Just change the names: "We drafted the Sparano family," Ross said. "Tony Sparano and his family will give us everything they have."
Come on man! He met with Harbaugh at the Orange Bowl this was a last ditch effort to get Harbaugh from 49ers. Something with us never set right with Harbaugh from the first impression. There is no conspiracy here, no silent black helicopters! Ross wanted Harbaugh! Something in our presentation is wrong! Evidence is 1. Still having a HC on staff. 2. Jeff Ireland and judging from reports from the presser Tony is done with him too!
Ready the tweets of what the 3 stooges are saying is hilarious! Do they really think we are that stupid?
Here's a comment from Sparano on the OC Search. "Time frame on the OC. We’re going to move forward as fast as we can but I am going to do my homework and make sure we get the right guy. I love Dan Henning and I have an awful lot of respect for him and he helped me a lot but we’re going to open this thing up and try to be more explosive. I don’t know the time frame but we’re going to hire the best man for the job," Head Coach Tony Sparano said. At least his thinking appears to be in the right direction.
My favorite part was where Sparano said he received about 50 texts from players encouraging him. Yeah, he lost of the locker room alright.
"Hard not to notice that Sparano rarely, if ever, looked at Ross or Ireland for the entire 40 mins" - Ben Volin
"And with that the sorta press conference is over. I wasn't there, but heard over speakerphone. And even I need to go get a shower." - Armando Salguero
Chemistry is overrated. They could spit on each other and if the result is winning count me in with a hocker or 2. Ireland needs to bring in talent. Sparano needs to have the right coaching staff in place, coach better on game day, and milk the players for every ounce they have. Ross needs to step aside and let them do their jobs and only get involved if it's failing.
"It took Ross awhile, but eventually did admit he was looking for Sparano's replacement." - Ken LaVicka
No that is the reason Cowher wouldn't talk to us and most probably the reason Harbaugh got cold feet! Never does a owner do what Ross just did! If you are happy with Sparano fine have at it! I am not the guy is a glorified oline coach and continues to find himself in a position of failure! From having his play calling duties stripped from in Dallas to his back to back 7-9 seasons in Miami, 1-7 at home. All this accomplished is giving the Dolphins a black eye and when Ross finally does the right thing and rids us of these 2 clowns, no up and coming HC will come near us!
I'd feel a LOT better if he were a little more certain about this statement. We'll see how serious he is about it based on the FA and draft picks we bring in.
What matters is what goes down on the field. The team did not care during the week 17 game. I'm glad they're rallying behind him now but as of a week ago they weren't behind him because they almost got him fired.
So straight from the horses mouth! Be a man admit you wanted to replace him Ross! Admit you went about it wrong and candidates told you NO! Now you are stuck with who you didn't want and the franchise and fans suffer! Mean while when you finally grow the balls to fire them Sparano gets 6 extra million! Interesting no extension for Ireland!
"Sources say Ross' contention that he or anyone in organization did not talk to Bill Cowher is misleading. He most certainly reached out. " "Cowher was not comfortable discussing a filled position. I only say this because I'm not comfortable with Ross' attempt to discredit truth. " - Jeff Darlington
The vast majority of our players were brought here by Sparano & company. They should be backing him. Oh yeah, I am IRISH! LOL
