Do you go to your boss and ask to be fired every time you have a bad day of work? If not, get off it. Do you realize the Miami Dolphins' loss to the Buffalo Bills was the first time the Dolphins have lost to an obviously inferior team under his stewardship? Yes, in 27 tries, this was the first time you can honestly say his decisions and his coaching was responsible for his team's loss to a crappy team. Yet you want him fired?

Do you realize how many hall of fame coaches have lost to inferior teams during their career? You can look no further than next week's opponent. Yes, even the hallowed Bill Belichick has suffered the indignation of getting beatdown by an inferior opponent. One of those losses even came against our craphole of team back in 2004. AJ "freaking" Feeley beat his superbowl team on national television. Sound the alarms! FIRE BELICHICK!

Could you imagine what would have become of the Patriots under Belichick, the Steelers under Cowher, or the Giants under Coughlin if the owners followed the advice of absurdly impatient fans each time they had a poor performance? They wouldn't have Superbowl rings, that's for sure.

Apparently firing coaches every is the way to go around here, that's the sulotion to everything. Young players need to be probowlers on day 1, receivers have catch everything and a young QB is allowed no mistakes. Otherwise all is good!!!
 
What we need is stability, consistancy and maturity on our team.

We will never get to that point if we have a revolving door with our coaching staff and players.

It takes time to build stability

It takes time to build consistancy

and it takes time to develop maturity

a few years coaching isnt going to take care of this... the ones who win the big games usualy come from a long term system that is molded into a winnner.

Even looking at the bucs when Gruden took em to the SB. It wasnt his team.. all of the peices were already in place.

patience. its a hard thing to handle considering were in the burger king society (want it my way and I want it now).

I blame MTv for all of it :) damn fast cuts, edits and immediate gratification.

:lol2: so true!
 
Well I am not part of the "Fire Sparano Crowd" yet. I think there is a little more then just his trying to call timeout on a change of possession. Mind you in every league from Pee-Wee to the NFL the clock stops on change of possession. There is a history forming of not being able to maintain a lead or put a team away. Questionable timeout calls, kicking FGs instead of going for it on 4th and inches against Indy only to watch Peyton drive them down the field to match us. Not over riding questionable offensive play calls. Letting his emotions get the better of his decisions. Failing to make defensive adjustments on the fly and keeping the DC from going into the prevent defense.

My question is we are now 3/4 of the way through his second season. So how long do we excuse rookie/bonehead mistakes? All these mistakes lead upto loses. IMO Sparano needs to learn how to leave his emotions of the sideline and mature into a Championship Caliber game manager! I am all for allowing him to grow and mature, but there comes a time when you say enough is enough! You are the leader of this team and we hold you "Accountable" for everything that happens on game day!
 
I think Sparano is smart enough but gets too emotional on the sidelines and it causes his mistakes... if you look at the Belichick, Coughlin, Shanahan, Dungy, etc they are all pretty calm on the sidelines which keeps their head clear and lets them think... I think Sparano is a smart guy but gets too excited over some plays and lets adrenaline cloud his thinking.

Exactly look at all the Superbowl winning head coaches of this decade and name one of them that runs up and down the sideline for first downs and field goals! Mike Tomilin is barely 30yrs old and he is way more mature and less emotional.
 
seriously...

when I relocated into a new career... it took me a solid year to simply settle into the role. It took me a second year to become good at what I do. And this is being a project engineer. No where near the politics, stress and work schedule a head coach deals with.

Not excusing him but, think about how much he needs to learn and cope with. If we dont like the coach then fine.. he gets replaced.. point is the grass always looks greener on the other side but rarely it is. If were going to give players opportunity to develop over a number of years (ie: Henne, Ginn etc..) then I would say the coach should have two to three times that amount of tiime considering the amount of work they have to handle.

For a head coach the time frame is dependant on ownership.

If I were the one making decisions I would base them on whether or not he is learning, growing and not repeating mistakes. could give him 3 years or perhaps 5+ depending on his performance.

Sparano is in a unique position given the leadership and mentor he has above him. I think if we don't see a big improvement in his game management skills and emotions next year then something needs to be done. That will have given him 2 full seasons, 3 preseasons, 3 training camps, 3 mini camps, 3 rookie camps, and 1 post season game.
 
coach will be given 4 full seasons.but in the 4th season. if we lose games in a weird way like now.he will be gone.but until then people need to stop crying and move on to something else.
 
If the Dolphins are winning and playing to their ability, Sparano won't get fired for letting his emotions dictate his game management skills. That would be precedence setting and no team will want to be the one to do it.
