Phin Fanatic (You the same guy?) just announced that TS was fired and that he's also heard that he may be heading to either Michigan or UConn to coach next.

Not for nothing, but this is going to happen at some point. You can call it now or in 2 hours, you'll end up being right.

I've seen Incarcarated Bob saying this on Twitter.


I agree, but just to play Devil's Advocate, I wouldn't take Incarcerated Bobs word on anything. He said on Tuesday that Harbaugh had agreed to terms with the Niners.

again it may be true, and probably is, but it goes against the TOS, what other benefit than to make yourself look like a hotshot is there to posting something like that with no links?

I thought that is what the club was for....insider cool stuff...

Exactly. insider cool stuff doesn't always come with a link (club or mains). You make him out to be a hot shot but it looks like we are informed before some media outlets - if true of course.

Just take it wit a grain of salt, that's all.

I know. Not saying I believe him. Just that he's another person putting it out there.

Anyone who believes that Sparano wasn't fired in Monday's meeting is a fool. It simply has not been announced.

That came from CK speculation in a thread.

No trying to be confrontational here. Just calling it like I see it.

And yet Mrs. Sparano just dropped her husband off for work at team headquarters 10 minutes ago. Still wearing Dolphin apparel.

Has not been fired yet.

**** Sparano.

I liked him until he started being an *******, defending Henning against all reason when the truth was plain to see.

Don't treat me like a moron and then expect not to have burned ALL available goodwill.

He could have done something about Henning AT ANY POINT DURING THE SEASON AND DIDN'T.

He and he alone is to blame for the way this team spiraled out of control, culminating in his complete loss of the players in the final game against New England. He is Dave Wannstedt Part II, and I'm glad to be rid of his gutless, incompetent ass.

They haven't chopped up the body and disposed of it yet.

Maybe he has been demoted to equipment manager?

Seriously, George...do you think Ross would have a meeting with Sparano, tell him he's NOT fired - and then proceed to make offers to Gruden, Cowher and Harbaugh? Does that really make any sense at all?

The likely scenario is that Sparano was told he was not going to be retained, but for whatever reason an announcement would be delayed.

Are you talking about the (possible) firing or the Michigan/UConn rumor? I got it from a Phin Fanatic update.

I am still wondering why if people have said they have sources that say that security has escorted TS out the door......why it hasnt been reported yet??

Surly Schein, or LaCon, or Shef would be all over it no?

LOL on the cell-phone!

Insane day. At least it's interesting and not a typical boring off-season.

Funny how this time (from the end of the season to the draft) in some ways captivates fans more than the regular season (it does for me in some respects).

i think the security escorting him out was a joke, unless we read different reports. it also included security beating him in the parking lot lol. if Schefter or La Canfora started this thread, thats one thing...............
