Props to Sparano. I wasn't sure he had it in him. Bonamego couldn't deserve to be fired anymore. ST's has been abysmal his whole time here.

i hope it's only temporary, cause what could we expect out of that dolt's assistant if he was absolutely terrible?DolfanJake and gunn34 like this.

I wonder what it will take for Henning to lose his job.... I'm afraid to find out.

gotta wonder. he learned sp tms under this guy. i dont think they feel the problem is the scheme but rather the execution. if its execution then he might succeed if he can get through to the players. if its scheme he will probably fail

he's not losing his job. he's not the problemTwo Tacos, resnor, The Aqua Crush and 1 other person like this.

The point of the matter is it proved Sparano has the balls to do what is needed to make this team better.

I wonder why they fired him... I mean 4 blocked punts (including preseason) a KO return for a TD, a blocked FG and not production from the return game... I mean other then that the guy did a great job!

Henning is def turning it around as of late with the playcalling. Don't get me wrong, I never wana see the WC if it isn't on 1st down or 2nd and short.
Henne isn't the problem either. I love how he threw those picks and then responded by leading us down the field for a TD. He can get it together.
Esp nice matchup for him against GB's inexperienced secondary.Fin D and adamprez2003 like this. -
soliai played there and didnt have the best game. i think the bigger problem was dobbins. we were flooding the passing lanes however. our strategy was to take away the pass first. when you do that you leave yourself vulnerablefelly smarts likes this.

A little faith restored.
Seriously, the amount of mistakes in one night this team made on ST's won't be matched by some other teams ALL YEAR.
It was simply unbelievable.
Bonamego really should have just headed for the airport right after the game.DolfanJake, Larryfinfan, Larry Little and 1 other person like this. -
i'm sure he finishes the season. if he wants to return in 2011 however he better produce this yearm ino likes this.

It doesn't get any nicer than this New England defense. Quite possibly the worst pass defense in football today. And I watched Houston.DolfanJake likes this.

I'm suprised it took this long. I think they knew it wasn't a personnel problem.

It had to happen. Promoting his understudy is a questionable move, but honestly, short of going out and interviewing to fill the position (which is unrealistic) he had to promote the next guy.
Bonamego needed to go, but I wonder if part of his downfall this seaosn was due to the fact that Sparano/Ireland kept cutting and resigning players that essentially strictly played special teams. When the unit keeps getting busted up, it leads to miscommunication and people not knowing their roles, which were the main problems we saw last night from them.
You can make the argument that it is/was Bonamego's job to coach them up regardless, but having some stability with that unit would be nice as well.DolfanJake, Tone_E and HardKoreXXX like this. -
Thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:party:
Now I can get that annoying big black text out of my sig :lol: -
No surprise the replacement is from Italian descent too.:wink2:
-
as well he should be fired... next?
-
i only give him the left ball back..he gets the right ball back when he gets henning to stop being cutesy and killing drives or fires him all together.hmm execution but we should'nt let one or 2 mistakes on o cost us the entire series..good teams play through a holding call here and there.it doesn't help that the refs are not getting it done..that pi on marshall was bs..he was within five yards no? the missed block in the back on the kick return for td,the non-holding call on wake.i know that alone they didn't cost us the game but adding all that in didn't help our situation either..those were big moments in the game taken back due to poor officiatting.
