Is anybody tired of Sparano's antics on the sidelines whenever we score? I mean I am as excited as anybody when we score points however I expect my head coach to be the symbol of calm and collected. I want him to symbolize the "been there done that" and that a score, whether a field goal or a touchdown, is how the team expects each drive to end. The fist pump makes me feel like we are an underdog everytime we play and that we just accomplished something amazing by scoring points. I may be too old school or used to the Don Shula, Tom Landry school of thinking however I just can't get used to seeing the coach, especially on national television, celebrating a field goal like he does.:thanks:
 
I enjoy seeing his emotion, how can that be a negative? I love seeing him scream and yell and then get happy when we score, how is that a problem? Better than the Saban hand clap after everything days.
 
I like it. Sorry, you can be a good coach and still get excited. I'm more concerned with the last 5 min of coaching in last nights game.

I don't see anything wrong with that, It's called PASSION, It can never be a bad thing. I wish our previous coaches had his intensity.
 
I love how pumped he gets!

I hope it rubs off on the rest of the team.

Couldn't disagree more!
 
Don't get me wrong, I love that he has passion for the game and the team. I just feel that the professionalism comes from being more under control under all circumstances, which would ultimately rub off on the players. There was a reason that Shula coached teams were always disciplined and the least penalized in the league. Leadership starts at the top and if the coach is jumping up and down it just sets a bad precedent and can even motivate the opponent, in my opinion. Could you imagine Belicheck doing this? And he hasn't faired too badly in recent years. He is definitely from the old mold of coaches. So while I agree that emotion is important I also believe that it just needs to be harnessed in a bit, to me it is all a bit too college gameday for me. Thanks again.:up:

I'm glad he isn't a stiff like Belichick (though his winning pct sure is nice). I enjoy Sparano's emotion on the sideline. It shows he gives a damn.

After Shula our previous coaches were bums except for JJ and he showed his emotions inside of the locker room by ripping you a new one if you needed it.....JJ's problems were not his coaching ability or enthusiasm, he inherited a team that wasn't starting over from scratch that he could mold to his liking, like in Dallas.:up:
 
If you don't want excitement, go watch GOLF. This is football....I like a coach who wears his emotions on his sleeve.
 
I don't know if anyone else noticed last week or not but it looked like the Falcons coach was kind of making fun of him a little by being excessively demonstrative when they scored. :ponder:

I like Sporano, I like to see him screaming and cursing at the players. I'm not so sure I like to see him constantly demonstrating after every refs call or after we score. It's a little over board if you ask me. It isn't really natural looking.

I thought Gruden looked kind of ridiculous when he would do it and it looks like Sporano got most of his on-field schtick from chucky...
 
I love his emotion. We are lucky to have Sparano and not a tool like Mangini who shows no emotion whatsoever.
 
He better spend some of that energy learning how to manage a clock at the end of a game.
 
As hard as points are to come by for this offense.....Hell I couldn't blame him if he started handing out birthday hats and cotton candy after a field goal...


Seriously though...I get what he's trying to say....

When you're constantly animated after every little thing.....it becomes more ordinary than inspiring....these are grown men out there...

I like the more reserved...."quiet confidence" type head coaches that almost give off a mystical type aura...(Bear Bryant, Tom Landry, etc...)

If these losses keep piling up Sparano will be compared more to Woody Hayes for going out on the field and giving an opposing player an uppercut....:lol:
