Merged:WFAN NY's Mike Francesa (Parcells' buddy) reports...

Still doesn't make this organization look good IMO. What a cluster crap that is/was.

Ross is a tool and that "Ireland was on Sparano's side" stuff seems a bit of B$

Yeah it doesn't really help any. I don't understand that though, if he was given the option, then that means that Ross wanted him to go? or not? This fiasco is about the worst day of my fandom of the Miami Dolphins. I just want the draft to start so we can focus on something positive.

Worse than 1-15? Worse than Saban jumping ship?

Yeah but everyone was calling us classless for hanging Tony out to dry, when that wasn't the case.

We're like the Chernobyl of NFL football...... with future impairments to come.

Why? Why is it a cluster?

They went after Harbaugh, and he said no. Why do we look stupid and San Fran doesn't? Hell, they had the edge and they still blew it, then got turned down by Josh Efffing McDaniels.

Sigh. You guys really let the fact that the media didn't have their **** together cloud your view of this.

That Sparano was given the option of being fired of waiting out the process. I don't know if this is true, but I believe it.

If anything, this makes us look at lot better in that Sparano was the one that decided to wait it out.

Mike F is best buddies with Parcells, so it could b true.

Knee-jerk reactions amuse me....

Sit still while we punk you, or fire you now, your choice?

I blame Peterson who is said to be Ross's adviser, Peterson has been around the block, he know's better than this.

After 1-15 we had Parcells coming in, and we had hope. The future looked bright. What hope do we have now.....zero, because we can't fire the owner.

so what if they fired him, and didnt get harbaugh, gruden or cowher?!?!? we'd be coachless, sparano would be paid, and we'd be ****ed. thankgod sparano waited it out.

Unless Parcells is trying to save some face for us, and himself. This still looks bad on him. He can't run away like he wanted too. Other owners, who he wants to sucker next, will still look at the fiasco in Miami.

All of your posts the past couple of days qualify by definition as rants and belong somewhere else on this site.

Looking better? Depends on what better means. Moved from smucks to only slightly insenitive bottom feeders. Relative terms there.

Despite everything that went wrong for us this year, we were 7-9.

Get us a new OC, a few more good men on the field and we're closer to 10-6. Really, our season wasn't as tragic as its made around here. The no-call against the steelers, Nolan Carrolls drop seen round the world against CLE, etc.

We have plenty of hope that things will be better next season (EASIER SCHEDULE) than they were this year.

Owner is going to do what an owner is going to do this sounds very much like Ross got his custom silk boxers in a wad and went berserk which is also a really bad sign for the Dolphins moving forwards, people around the NFL talk, they already played hardball with several free agents.

Yeah but chasing after a coach with another one in your building isn't right. If you don't want the one in your building, give him the pink slip. The present situation is like "oh hey, we couldn't get the one we wanted so we'll just be stuck with you. You ok with that?".

Frankly, I was hoping Sparano would resign. I was waiting for it. I don't have an issue with us keeping Sparano, I like stability. However, I don't think you should do that to him.

So what you are telling me is EVERYONE at dolphins HQ is too balless and gutless to make a hard decision. Great.

Waffles anyone??

Because they FIRED their coach. They didn't make anyone dangle in the wind.

It's no different than a married guy dating girls to see if he prefers one to his wife.

So... yeah.

Did I just make an argument for or against what you said...???
