Source: Dolphins will not fire Sparano during bye week

We already paid the fat, sausage-eating, turd of a coach...

might as well get as many loses as we can out of him... I just hope we get at least 1 or 2 victories (against the Jests) because 2-14 is bad enough to get Luck
 
KEEP HIM UNTIL THE BITTER END!

I don't need this team getting the least bit energized by an interim coach. At least some of these guys are competitors and they will respond to any change however meaningless. Keep Tony and they will continue to under-perform! This is the best measure for long term success.
 
atleast sanchez will make our D look good
 
Ross doesn't want to lose face after that 2 year extension he gave him. That and the Henne getting hurt probably saved his job for another game.
 
TOTALLY happy with this !

Sparano's total incompetence is a vital & key component to the Suck For Luck campaign drive. We need Sparano's ineptness and his sheer stupidity all year long in this race to attain future greatness with #12 under center in Aqua and Orange.
 
pretty funny how nobody wants tony fired now that we are in the suck for luck chase
 
This team showed last year in Week 17 that they have zero inclination to show up to games in order to play on behalf of team pride and/or to save Tony Sparano's job. The more impossible it is for the Dolphins to do anything meaningful on the year, the worse they play. I think I read a quote earlier this week about how the players feel like they're playing for Tony Sparano's job. Well, the product on the field today shows just how much they really want to save Tony's job, lol.

However, it was even worse in 2010, Week 17. Tony Sparano should not have been kept on after that game, bottom line. It was a mistake to keep him on. What the team showed in that game was DANGEROUS. I can understand a team falling flat on their face in a high pressure situation. It can happen. You can grow beyond that. But when you get into a situation where you're supposed to be playing for pride, and the other team is just playing for pride, and your team QUITS...you don't grow beyond that. Sorry, but that was it. That was the end of the Tony Sparano regime, but Stephen Ross and Jeff Ireland were too naive/biased to acknowledge it.

Jim Harbaugh should be our Head Coach right now. But, all things happen for a reason I suppose. Hopefully when the Dolphins get the #1 overall pick they can use that as a carrot to pull in the best and brightest to re-make the organization from top to bottom. The trick is being smart enough to recognize who the best and brightest are...which makes me nervous.
 
News like this, is why we are a embarrassment to the league. Dumb owner, stupid front office, and clueless players.

If only Harbaugh would have gone back to Stanford they could have been a package deal.
Yeah the Keystone Cops type of stuff that was going on defense makes it pretty clear how the players think of Tony.

The sad part is that I don't want losers like that to by on my Miami Dolphins.

As painful as it is to watch we need to stay the course.
 
If Ross isn't going to fire him now, then you might as well let the meatball set up the new regime with Andrew Luck.
 
The most important thing Stephen Ross can do is send a message.

That message doesn't need to go out to the Miami players. Those players are going to get that message in the form of pink slips, eventually. This season is DONE. Don't try and paper over huge gaping chasms with a few cheap wins built of drastic moves meant to get a meaningless 'rise' out of the players. You WANT to know which players play week in and week out for pride, rather than a pay check. It's important to determine those guys.

No, the message Stephen Ross needs to send is to PROSPECTIVE Head Coaches and PROSPECTIVE General Managers, guys who might be thinking of tossing their names in the ring to try and take over this team. Stephen Ross has to send a message of INTEGRITY to those people. He has to send them a message that says, "If I say I'm giving you another chance, I'm giving you another chance. I am not a fickle owner."

If he fires Tony Sparano after only 4 games of the 2011 season, after giving him a contract extension during the off season, what message does that send to guys that you want to come to Miami and be excited about coming here? What message does it send to the likes of Bill Cowher, Jeff Fisher or Jon Gruden?

Stephen Ross already ****ed up once. He stuck his toe in the water on the Harbaugh thing where he should have gone full speed ahead. Either full speed ahead retaining Tony Sparano, or full speed ahead firing him and making Jim Harbaugh an offer he couldn't refuse. He didn't do that. My advice to him now would be NOT to compound that mistake by continuing to build your reputation as a fickle, feckless owner. Be CALM and CONFIDENT. Make good decisions.
 
Fans are not ok with watching heartless, backward moving , garbage.
I love the Dolphins, but I'm A-OK with the team being a bunch of heartless garbage at this point. Playoff dreams are OVER, so now it's all about the #1 pick. As long as these guys keep stinking it up this badly, I'll be happy. It ensures that we'll finally be able to draft a #1 QB.
