NFL Coach Hot Seat: Tony Sparano Still Atop The List

[DKphin]

We're a quarter of the way through the season and a handful of 0-4 teams have coaches on the hot seat. The Miami Dolphins and head coach Tony Sparano are the leaders in that category but you also have to look at Jim Caldwell of the Indianapolis Colts and Steve Spagnuolo of the St. Louis Rams, both 0-4 teams. Which coach's seat is the hottest? We'll start in South Florida for this week's edition of the NFL coaching hot seat.
1. Tony Sparano, Miami Dolphins: According to reports, he's safe through the Dolphins Week 6 game against the New York Jets. There was a lot of speculation that the Dolphins would choose to make a coaching change this week because it's the bye week -- the intrigue continued when the Dolphins canceled Sparano's Monday press conference -- but, reportedly, that won't be happening. Still, it seems it's only a matter of time before Sparano takes the fall in Miami. The Dolphins are 0-4 and their starting quarterback could miss a significant amount of time. That's not a good recipe for a coach on the hot seat.

It would be in Tony's best interest to get a settlement from Ross and just resign. That way he and Ross can save face in this mess.

There is no saving face for a head coach to quit midway through a season.

Only makes our organization look worse.

As if this organization can look any worse then it already does.

He will finish out the season. The team has no talent and now no starting QB. This is his and Irelands mess.
Ross should make sure that they get their noses rubbed in it 12 more times.
