What? Rip Van Sparano just woke up from a 4month hibernation? Where was he when our offense and offensive play calling was ****ting the bed? Where was he when we got shutout at home on SNF? ... or humiliated by NE on MNF? Where was he when over the last year, we actually won fewer games in Miami than Pittsburgh? What the **** was he thinking 10 days ago when he said he'd like Henning back next year??
I've lost faith in him. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but that's alright so long as he would have been smart enough, like any good manager to have people he could delegate the responsibilities to, and then hold them accountable. He's still enabling Henning by faulting the players instead of the blueprint. It was only a groundswell of disgust in the MNF humiliation that reluctantly prompted him to fire Bonamego. This guy is a slow-thinking reactionary - pro-activity is no where in his DNA.
The other night while driving I was listening to a replay of one of Tony's pressers and then listening to Eric Spoelstra's pre-game interview analyzing and evaluationg Houston who the Heat were going to face that evening. I was struck by the difference in those two: one sounded like a Rhodes scholar and the other like he should have been out grading roads. But then again, one was hand-picked and mentored by Pat Riley and the other by the Tuna.
Sorry Tony, not that I think you have the capability to effect change, but even if wrong, it's just too ****ing little, too late!.
