He did call plays in '06 but he has never beena fullt ime OC, I have said it from the beginning. I don't know what to expect out of our offense as a whole but I do expect to run the ball better and protect the passer better, we'll see. I'm more concerned w/ getting our D back among the elite than I am w/ the offense.
A lot of people are quick to point out that Dallas had a top 5 O with Sparano in response to those who question the hire. I don't think that means much since he didn't run the O by himself and has never been a full time OC.
The same could have been said about Haley before he went to AZ, but Haley went on to run a top 5 O with AZ before becoming a head coach. Sparano was never a full time OC and the Dolphins highest offensive ranking in his 4 years here was 12th. Other teams D would talk about how predictable the O was and how they knew what plays were coming. That doesn't mean much either since he was a head coach and not an OC with the Dolphins, but I think it is just as valid of an argument as those who will argue that he ran a top 5 O in Dal.
You have said the correct response to the hire before, which is I don't know. I don't think anyone does.
