He sounded like a defeated man in the post game press conference. I think he sees the writing on the wall or already knows he will be dismissed.
-
Probably wont be until a bit later in the week, I think it has to happen though.
-
I think Ross should do it right away so he can get to the business of finding the new guy. There are other teams in the coaching hunt, don't want them snatching up all of the good candidates.

I think Ross should call in a favor to Donal Trump and get him to chopper down to Davie, walk up to Sparano and say "You're Fired" (also possibly having Emeril standing right behind him to say "BAM!" right after).
You're Fired!
Mr. Ross does fancy himself a showman after all, doesn't he? -
I understand we need a new guy, but you guys act as though the GOOD candidates will want this job. What does it have to offer ? I think a lot of good coaches, despite the fact they want to compete, will look at having Belichek & Ryan in the division, and then look elsewhere where it will be easier to win. They know the owner is disappointed & the fan base in near total revolt. The atmosphere surrounding the Dolphins, and this job will be horrible. There are many other jobs where it will be much easier a job. I think we end up with a nobody who is getting his 1st chance at a HC job, just like Cam Cameron.
It sux doesn't it ? -

I think Tony needs to be replaced.....but I dont think Tony Sparano will be unemployed for long. I think he will be a fine HC at some point. Right now....Ross has to make a change to create a sense of change to save ticket sales next season....which will most definatley be at risk right now.

Im telling ya.....
Stanford plays tomorrow night. We will interview Jim Harbaugh by weeks end.....fulfill our Rooney requirement...and hire him.
Or maybe not....but I hope.
Also wouldnt mind Gruden. -

Good coaches WILL WANT THIS JOB.
Because Miami has and always will be....a franchise with name and tradition. Many good coaches will want to be the one to resurrect the shining franchise in South Florida. Especially coaches like Gruden, Cowher, and even Harbaugh, of whom tradition means alot.
The coach that puts Miami back on the Map...will always be equated with Shula....MonstBlitz likes this. -

And Parcells couldnt get it done.
So the coach that does.....and the GM that does....would be elevated above Parcells.
You dont think Gruden and Cowher wouldnt love to succeed where Parcells failed? -

The problem is, a coach is not going to turn this thing around very soon. I may be wrong but I don't see Gruden getting the job done here. We need a QB and I really don't see one in this draft.
Irony - we are 7-9 drafting in the middle of the 1st round but given the way we've played the past half of the season, we are as bad as the teams getting to draft in the top 5. It's a worst case scenario - particularly from an offensive perspective. This is one of the worst offenses I've seen in a long time at any level. It's completely dysfunctional. Zero identity and that is equally on Sparano and his horrific O-line scouting/developing/play - as it is on Henning.
I am just not very optimistic at this point and it's not just this last game (which I didn't get to see).Pandarilla and DolfanJake like this. -
an entire offseason dedicated to offensive talent acquisition is all we need. there is zero reason to switch coaches. we simply didnt have the talent on the offensive side to compete. one offseason will change that

Hopefully Ross fires Sparano, Parcells, Ireland, Henning and most of the remaining staff. I cannot see why anyone should be brought back. Blow it up and start over from the front office on down to the team trainer. I think only the cheerleaders should be brought back.

This isn't even a debate anymore, it's just you being stubborn. -
It's probably a moot point as Ross is a business man and he's about to lose most of his fanbase in one season if he doesn't make a switch. I think Sparano certainly has his virtues but I'd rather just promote Nolan to head coach than stay with Sparano. -

I don't know whether or not Sparano is going to be fired, but I do know that Henning fits into the category of "got to go". I really think if we were to get a new offensive coordinator that knows how to use the talent we have, we could be alright...at least heading in the right direction even if we kept the remainder of the coaching staff.
I don't know if there's a coach out there than can bring success to Miami. Jerry Jones did point out that no Super Bowl winning coach has ever gone to another team and won a Super Bowl with the new team, and if that's the case and we use that as a factual reference, that rules out Bill Cowher and John Gruden.
If we were to fire Sparano, I want the coach that Don Shula would have hand selected as his successor if he had the chance...Marty Shottenheimer, but the chances of that happening are probably slim to none.Pandarilla likes this. -
Food for thought. Since Brady/Belichek started with New England Miami will be on it's 6th Head Coach during that time if Sparano is fired. Wanny, Jim Bates, Nick Satan, Cam Cameron and Tony Sparano......and then of course the new guy.

Dude, I can understand loyalty, but you are being ridiculous. It won't stop you from getting an orange name if you critisize the team once in a while.MonstBlitz likes this. -
