I will reserve my judgement on Sparano until next season. Let's face it, not many head coaches can look good with ****ing Dan Henning calling the offense. If Daboll turns out to be a good coordinator for us, then I think Sparano will be just fine. He's no Belichick, but with the right staff in place, he doesn't have to be. He is better than a lot of people give him credit for, regardless of what has gone down the last 2 seasons.
I do think he should've been fired. However, he wasn't. He is probably a better option than most of what we could get anyway. Right now, the only good head coach available that comes to mind is Jeff Fisher, and I doubt he will even coach at all next year. With the lockout and all of the uncertainty surrounding next season, it was better to keep Sparano around. It was already bad enough having to replace an OC. Fortunately, I don't think the offense can go anywhere but up.
Sparano is what he is- a motivator. From what I gather he works hard and does his best. I look forward to seeing what he can do next season with a competent OC, assuming Daboll is at least halfway decent. I think many of you will be surprised by the results. I am by no means a huge Sparano supporter, but you have to remember a lot of the losses last year fell on the offenses inability to score. With any luck, Daboll can fix that and Sparano will emphasize in training camp/practice the need to convert turnovers and redzone possessions into touchdowns.
