I think people are kidding themselves big time if they think Sparano will get fired if we lose to Cleveland. I've been staying out of these discussions but think they are silly. I think TS is a bad coach but he will not be fired after week 3, regardless of the outcome. I'd bet everything I have on this.
The odds are he wouldnt be fired after week 3 if we lost, only because we have a game the following week than is our bye, so from a logical point of view, you would think that we would wait one week, let our new interim coach get a full week off to learn everything the best he can, then get a fresh start 2 weeks later vs the jets.
However, considering that we basically quit last season in our final 3 games vs the bills, lions, and pats, showing really no life, especially the last game vs the pats, who played scrubs the whole 2nd half, and now it seems like we have started off the same way we left off at the end of the 2010 season, i would not be surprised if he was fired if we lose this week.
Now if we were to lose a game like 27-24 last second fg, a loss is still a loss, its unacceptable, and something must be done. However if its that close, then maybe ross just waits till after the charger game to see and make a decision.
However , if we were to lose like 34-3, show no fire like the first 2 weeks, look like the same deadbeat team we have looked like the last 5 games going back to last year, i think a change must be done right after the game despite a bye week looming.
That will have shown that the players have officially quit on sparano and the team needs a change asap.You dont just lose to the browns in that type of way.
That being said, i fully expect us to win this week ( ya i know to some people im a homer and its unacceptable that i think we will win) and maybe, just maybe, we can get something going. its do or die.
