    didnt see this posted , i found it through orlando sentinel.

    Miami Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland plans to be in Dallas this morning to meet with Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano, considered to be the leading candidate to replace Cam Cameron, a source told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel for today's editions. On Monday, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier will visit South Florida for an interview. Sparano met with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday and is scheduled to talk to the Baltimore Ravens today to discuss their respective head-coaching vacancies.

    I am still on the fence as well. I am awaiting one of our guru's to do a special thread on Sporano....

    You could probably send a message to one of the mods if you want the spelling corrected BTW...

    I know of the limitations of when we can interview Sparano and any other coach still in the playoffs. I am wondering if we can offer the job to him (after we abide by the Rooney Rule) with his team still in the playoffs. Does anybody know if we can offer the job to Sparano during the week or are we required to wait until his team's season is completed.

    As long as his team is in the post season he is under contract with that team, so he cannot be offered the job until the Cowboys are done.

    Point of clarification...the announcement cant happen, but being that he interviewed today, I dont think you can prevent the discussion from having an "offer" attached to it. So if he accepts, and once the playoffs start for Dallas no "announcement" can happen. (i.e. no distraction) but clearly and offer can occur during the granted interview.

    Well if nothing else I'm going to assume that if Sparano is hired we will finally have a dominant offensive line again. That's been the guy's strong suit over the years.

    I thought Romeo Crennel had verbally agreed to a contract with the Browns before the the Pats last Super Bowl, or maybe I'm imagining things.

    I think we can officially announce a coach as soon as their team is out of the playoffs. Like say Leslie Frazier blows both Ireland and Tuna out of the water, he could be our coach Monday

    And then if he does fix our OL, I can get on another soap box because the one I am on now will be fixed and that would be the beginning of us having a much better team.:thumbup:
