If Miami gets blown out week 1 than Sparano needs to be axed as soon as the game is over with.
Gruden needs a strong GM.
What is the definition of a slow start? If he is going to be fire mid-season, I think it is going to have to take a 1-7 or 0-8 record. I truly do not see Ross making any in season changes if things go bad, I think he will let Sparano finish the season. The worse thing for this team is if the Dolphins start off real bad, Ross fires Sparano, names Nolan interim coach, and Nolan does just enough to get the job at the end of the season. Mike Nolan is NOT a NFL head coach. I think even with a bad season, Ireland will be retained, which means you can kiss guys like Cowher and Gruden goodbye. Maybe Jeff Fisher.
With all that said, I do not see a slow start, I also don't anticipate a coaching change during or even after the season.
