In this history of sports has a coach ever been retained to encourage more loss?

I just think it is funny the people bashing sparano
are now hoping like hell he stays till the end of the season..
The thought might even be crossing the owners mind
as a best option as the season looks almost over anyway..
It is almost win win for ross at this point..
He wont have to pay yet another coach
he will look like he gave sparano every shot he could
And by Sparanos failing me even get a better pick out of it
all this while knowing sparano is losing control of the locker room.

It's a fine line to walk. Fire him too early and other potential coaches will want no part of an organization that trys to replace you only to fail and then give you a 2 year deal and then fire you a few weeks into that. Shows you have no loyalty and integrity.

Keeping him could also be seen by potential coaches that the owner doesn't have the guts to make a bold move to get the franchise winning, put fans in the seats, and shake things up when needed.

There is nothing to compare the Dolphins situation to. Everyone knows Ross was looking to replace him last off-season but screwed it up.

Now, does Ross turn around an not fire Sparano for another two years to prove what a "great" owner he is? Perish the thought...

Carolina retained John Fox last year as the lame duck and they completely tanked it. Got them the #1 overall pick in Cam Newton and what looks to be a bright future.
