I cannot understand why Ross hung Sparano out to dry after the end of the season, but then kept him when there were other good candidates besides Harbaugh. All that did is delay the inevitable and further enrage the fans. There's no way Tony makes it through the season.
Agree. The only thing that would even make sense is that the person he really wanted wasn't ready (Cowher) and they have some type of gentlemen's agreement in place for after the season. Sounds foolish, but I can't think of any other reason.
