    I agree if Sparano is fired during the season I wouldn't give it to Nolan the way this defense has played.

    I say we let Bryan Cox take over. I'd love to see him give Belichick the bird after they crush us.

    It's sad that we are likely to get worse if we fire Sparano.... I wonder how Nolen would react to being passed over.

    Karl Dorrel being considered? Our former WRs coach turned QB guru? SFL lives on beyond Tony I guess.

    I suspect that when we look back at the Sparano era in a couple of years, we won't wonder how Nolan's 2011 defense managed to get so much worse - we'll wonder how he got a top 5/10 D out of that unit in 2010.

    He's a former head coach, and frankly, I don't think you can really be all too critical of the job he's done. Henne was dramatically better in former areas of weakness.

    Its really hard to be able to gauge what any of these coaches motives are at this point...They all just may want out, and thats going to hurt the integrity of their preperation..

    As for the play itself, if there has been one constant it is Sparano and Co constantly, constantly, outthink themselves, it is the damndest thing I've ever seen.

    The biggest reason to promote Bowles or Dorrell should you can Tony mid-season is that you would easily satisfy the rooney rule.

    Just interview the interim guy on a Tuesday in December and you've complied with the rule. then, the minute the season ends you can hire Cowher, Gruden, etc.

    There must be some reason why he's no longer a head coach. Henne worked his lower body and made his legs work for him; you can argue he had to or his line would get him killed (survival of the fittest lol), which, they eventually did. You're right though he was putting more touch on his check-downs in those four games.

    The line didn't eventually get Henne killed. Hilliard bungling a hand off opportunity and Henne falling to the ground untouched is what ultimately ended his stay in Miami. Not to say that they wouldn't have EVENTUALLY gotten Henne destroyed.

    Bowles will probably get the shot over Dorrell, as Bowles is the assistant head coach and thus the natural successor to Sparano on the organizational chart. Doesn't mean Bowles deserves it, especially given our secondary's less than inspiring play. But he'll probably get it.

    I still think Sparano coaches out the entire season, though.

    Henne's passer rating went from 75.4 in 2010 to 79.0 in 2011. Not only is this not dramatically better, but given how Dorrell had (next to) no contact with Henne thanks to the lockout, it's extremely disingenuous to point to Henne's 2011 season as proof that Dorrell is worth keeping around or promoting. Unless you're going to claim that Dorrell is such a good coach that he only needed one month to improve a fourth year veteran's passer rating by 3.6 points, in which case you're just putting out Comedy Central material.

    I would much rather bring in Chad freakin' Pennington to call plays. Seriously.
