right, wasn't his whole thing he wanted us to go down in flames so we'd get a new coach in the offseason? but he's ok with it? guess he really is a pats fan huh
Oh my god, just saw what they are reporting. This team sucks. Look to be 1-15 patriots dominate along with the jets forever and no one in the stands. Nice @#$%& up Ross. We just lost Williams, brown, etc. No good OC coach. Ughhhhh.
There's time for Sparano to consider the negative remarks made by some of his players about micromanaging. He can change the culture with the hiring of new coaches here and there.
Let's see what happens at the QB position. That and who is hired as the new OC will tell us something about the 2011 season.
Don't throw in the towel yet guys.

On Ross, I retract much of what I've posted in his defense as being a shrewd businessman and lawyer. When it comes to dealing within the confines of the NFL--a small circle--it appears he blundered. The biggest one was the mixed message he sent to Sparano and the team.
I agree, we can expect some very unflattering comments tomorrow directed at Ross.
Well again, if he starts Thigpen, who want's to play regardless, and chat's with each players personally, and get's a OC who is hot right now, you never know.
Maybe this move will make our organization stronger, because of all the dissrespect?
I mean like Sparano or not, you can bet that all the players feel a little irate, about how Ross dealt with this situation, not to mention how bad the media is going to rip Ross, which might in turn make our players, want to play for Sparano, especially if he has some heart to heart's, with players, and bring's in a breath of fresh air.
We lost Henning, Bowles, so new face's will help things.
Maybe just maybe the Dolphins are sabbotaging next season by retaining the lame duck coach and have a deal worked out to sign Harbaugh next year and pick Luck No.1. Now I am pissed that they were unable to retain Henning. Sorry, but I don't want to wake up from my dream. Or is this a nightmare? AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
The only positive is Bill Cowher should be a lock in 2012. Ross will have to clean house unless our incoming offensive coordinator is a miracle worker.
We will not get Luck in that draft. I doubt we will be that bad.
The real isue is this offseason we will probably sign/draft a qb,possibly with a high pick. Also we have to replace all 3 rbs. Plus the line needs at least 2 new starters Meaning the the coach who takes over will have many many players on offesnse locked into new possibly long term deals.
So we could suck for a while. Its terrible to say since we have a nice foundation of talent in: davis,smith, wake, dansby, marshall,bess, and long. Along with a huge pool of second tiers players with potential and youth.
