NFL source tells me Miami owner Stephen Ross and coach Tony Sparano are meeting now in South Fla. Source thinks it's 60-40 Sparano survives.

I wonder if that source is Bill Parcells?
If we keep Tony as a lame duck then we are headed for an absolute disaster next season. I don't know if ross understands the ramifications of this decision.NaboCane, DolfanJake and Jagfish like this. -
Agreed lameduck status is the kiss of death for the season. Extend him or can him.

As much as I love Tony... I can't deal with another year of field goal fury.

sounds about right. if cowher wants too much power and gruden is being courted by holmgren and harbaugh basically told us to **** off there arent really any more "name" coaching candidates and so you wont sell any more tickets with anyone else
-
Well Ross is going to make a HUGE mistake if he keeps Sparano. Season ticket sales will be horrible, and we'll have another losing season. We could miss out on Cowher, Gruden & Harbaugh.

Would've been ****ed up to let him do his presser then fire him, even though I won't shed a tear if Tony gets the boot.

I cant imagine Ross will keep Tony if Tony is going to maintain the same course of settling for field goals....being overly conservative.
Sparano has got to realize this is a business as well....and for him to stay...theres gonna have to be a change in mindset. -
Leopards don't change their spots. Tony is who he is.
Ross needs to forget about "name" coaches. He either believes in Tony and Ireland enought o give them extensions and deal with the reuslting fury or he doesn't. If he doesn't, they have to go. It's that simple. A man of ross's business acumen should understand this.
If Tony stays on as a lame duck the team is going to be getting booed at home from agme 1 and he will be an 0-2 starts away from being talked about being fired for the entire season. It's a disaster waiting to happen.Hiruma78, NaboCane and DolfanJake like this. -

So I guess the odds are 40-60 that I will renew my season tickets next year. Because if Ross sticks with Sparano for another season. He can be 100% sure that he will have to find another buyer for the four season tickets I will not be purchasing next year.
