Just heard this on NFL network. The consensus is that Sparano keeps his job and gets a new OC (Josh McDaniels mentioned as the “hot” candidate).

What do you think?

As far as I’m concerned Tuna bailed and should shut his blow hole.

Is that too opinioned?

If McDaniels is it, then we need to move up and get Gabbert.


Gabbert in the shotgun just like McDaniels changed to patriots offense making Brady more of a shotgun passer than Charlie Weis had him.

I will say this about McDaniels....the dude wants to score 40 a game.

He is not conservative.

If Nolan and McDaniels can work togethor, then fine by me.

But, I *HIGHLY* doubt this comes to fruition.

No way. If Ross keeps Sparano it will be the same kind of mistake as when Huizenga hung on to Wanny. Worse...if they hire McDaniels expect Nolan to leave for a HC job somewhere else. If we lose Nolan and keep Sparano, we're sunk. We have a solid defense, but we don't have the right talent on offense to be high powered like McDaniels would like. If our defense gets worse, our offense may not be able to improve enough to make up for it.

If there was any way to keep Nolan and hire McDaniels, we would be set. But, I highly doubt that is possible.

McDaniels basically ran Nolan out of Denver with his piss poor egocentric ways. If McDaniels gets hired and Nolan doesn't bolt, I'll do my best to eat my shoe. If we keep Sparano, then our owner has no feeling for the pulse of this fan base and what it will take to get people back into the seats in his stadium, outside of the first few home games. It's going to take BIG NAME coaching to spark the kind of interest in this team that Ross needs to sell out consistently. Hell, they don't "really" sell out as it is.

Gary Kubiak is also being mentioned as an OC candidate.

I'm OK with Sparano keeping his job as long as we get an OC thats agressive and calls better games.

An agressive OC will likely mean that we are more inclined to draft another quarterback...something we should do for competition's sake regardless of who the OC is, IMHO.

My wish list for the 2011 draft: must have speed however.

RD1-WR or QB
RD3-QB, RB or TE
RD4-RB, TE, MLB
RD5-BPA
RD6-BPA
RD7-BPA

We can get OG, RT and S in Free Agency.

At least this would be one good sign, and that's that Ross isn't "consulting" with Peterson at this point. Like I said before, if Tony would tweek his conservative approach and not play for FGs, I could live with his other warts, something to be said for some stability also.

Also Ken, the problem with fixing anything in free agency, is that it might not happen this year (or at least be a shortened version of it) because of the CBA. Bad year to need alot of "fixing"

McDaniels-Marshall-Nolan
combustible

If Sparano stays, don't count on drafting another QB. If Sparano stays, he will be on thin ice. He won't have 2-3 years to invest in developing another QB. And he'll know that. They'll bring in a new OC, and a new QB coach to work with Henne. And they'll bring in a veteran to compete with Henne. But, it's too late for Sparano to start over with a rookie QB. The only way that happens is if the current regime gets the boot.

ArmandoSalguero Bill Parcells has NOT spoken to Stephen Ross about retaining Tony Sparano.

From Amandos twitter, for what it's worth.

I totally agree Sparano is from the Parcells school of I dont care about QB's. Meanwhile in the past ten years Brady, Peyton and Rothisburger have most of the rings. Dolphins need a new coach who values the franchise QB.

Before you hire McDaniels you make Nolan the associate HC. He'd out rank McDaniels.

Yes, and I like Nolan!

Ken Wrote: Gary Kubiak is also being mentioned as an OC candidate.


According Michael Lombardi and Jason La Canfora Kubiak is liked a lot by the owner and it looks like he'll keep his job.

They also noted that Tom Coughlin will keeps his.

The big move they were speculating on was Jeff Fisher to Dallas. The Titans owner will keep VY and Fisher will leave...

"You either have to give him an extension to show the world you are squarely behind him or you have to move on."

Agree with this 1000%, not saying I agree with bringing him back as much as I'm saying if you do you almost have to extend him.


"The big move they were speculating on was Jeff Fisher to Dallas. The Titans owner will keep VY and Fisher will leave..."

I still say if this happens that we should keep Ireland, sh@# can Sparano and hire Garrett as our HC.

if BP wants to keep TS then I want him gone. Parcells doesn't care about this team, only his "legacy" and it would look bad for him if the team fired his handpicked coach. So regardless BP's vote of confidence is fallacious. Supposedly the rumor that BP talked to Ross isn't true anyway

Have you noticed the Miami Dolphin stands lately? They are empty, empty seats = empty pockets for Ross. Ross will respond as he likes $$$$ too much

HC-BILL PARCELLS
OC-McD
DC-NOLAN

Oline-SPORANO

You do realize it will cost him about 20 mil. to make a wholesale regime change right now dont you?

I read that figure somewhere, I think it includes what he's also paying Parcells and what it would cost to replace all of these clowns. I realize he would have to pay Parcells regardless, but i'm just pointing out a regime change wont come cheaply either.

Cowher/Gruden will be big bucks + Parcells + the buyouts = $$$$$$$$$$$
