I've watched Cowherd, I've watched Francesa, I've watched Sportscenter all this morning. Each show led off with NFL coverage, highlighting how awful the Dolphins looked. Each show spoke of how the Dolphins were a disaster, how they looked like a team that had quit, how Brandon Marshall drops so many passes, and how Tony Sparano looks like a defeated man that just doesn't care.....

National embarrassment.

ESPN is showing stats about bad Dolphin starts and who they drafted the next year.

The Andrew Luck race is on.

But again, National embarrassment.

Yet who is STILL coaching the team as of eight straight losses dating back to last season, a farce of an off-season coaching search, and six weeks of winless football this year? That's right, it's Tony Sparano! Because Steve Ross, doesn't give a **** about this organization. Period. If he DID, there might be a LITTLE bit of accountability here. At least send some kind of message to your fan base that you might ONE day care about winning, instead of let these morons continue running the show.
 
Steve Ross tried to replace Sparano. You think he doesn't care?

He couldn't get Harbaugh, because Harbaugh wanted to stay in the bay area. He couldn't get Gruden, because he was still collecting over 5 million a year from the Bucs. He didn't want Cowher because Cowher wanted full control.

He will give Cowher full control this time. Believe.
 
I am not SFL - by a long shot (too much testosterone) but I gotta admit it's funny how jest fans are pizzed off that many fins fans are untroubled, looking at the loss as a positive step on the way to possibly the best QB of the generation. Frustrates the hell out of them.

And didn't.

He left a guy he believed was ineffective in control of the team - How does indicative of caring about winning? Caring about the organization?

"This guy isn't good enough, I'm going to go get another coach - Wait.....Nevermind, we'll just leave him in place and waste another season."
 
Chain reaction:

The team quit on the Coach.

The Coach quit on the organization, when the owner quit on him in the off-season.

He couldn't get the guy he wanted, so he went to his backup option. He offered his #2 choice seven freaking million dollars per year, and the guy turned it down.

He went to his #3 and was gunshy about giving him 100% control of the organization. So he decided to sit tight during a lockout season when it was possible there wouldn't be football at all.

Don't crucify Ross for this. He gave it a good effort to upgrade the position and after being turned down by his top 2 choices and being unwilling to hand over 100% to his number three choice, he decided to stand pat for a year. That was not a stupid decision.
 
Ross is sending a message. Why fire Sparano now? What would it do? Get us 3 or 4 cheap wins with an interim coach that has no future here and no Andrew Luck?

Stay the course and draft Luck! That's the message. Suck it up for 3 months and then this season is over.

The Dolphins based on talent on paper alone probably could be a good enough team to AT LEAST have a winning season. The fact that Ross would cash that in to stick with the known LOSERS that are currently helming this franchise shows he's just as incompetent. Winning is not a priority in Miami, that's a fact. I get not getting Harbaugh, because he wanted to stay in the Bay Area. But this team could have got any number of coaches that have done fine jobs this season, Hue Jackson for instance, Juan Rivera, Mike Munchak or what about Rob Ryan? ANYONE but Sparano. But he stuck with the guy he KNEW would fail. That doesn't make sense to me. Unless of course, he just didn't care.

No intrim coach is going to get this team 3-4 wins. You fire Sparano because you TRIED TO FIRE HIM IN THE OFF-SEASON AND NOW YOUR TEAM IS WORSE. To me THAT would say, alright fans, we here your frustration, this has been a bad year, here is your coach on a silver platter - the man we hold accountable for this. Every game Sparano coaches is a bigger insult to the fans.
 
The state of the team right now is squarely Ross' fault. Yes, Tony is not a good/ideal coach, but he's also a coach who has managed to field a reasonably competitive team the past few seasons, including a division title.

But I can guarantee you had Ross not pursued Harbaugh in that epic FAIL manner, this team would be playing harder right now for Sparano. Only after he realized his screwup did he offer Sparano an extension, an admission of his idiocy. Would the team be good enough for the playoffs? Who knows, it's hard to say anything about the talent given the current effort. But Tony wouldn't be walking around with his tail between his legs (he stopped caring a long time ago) and the players wouldn't have witnessed a public pantsing of their head coach. If Ross wanted to replace Sparano, fire him and do a hiring search. And if he wanted Harbaugh, at least do it behind closed doors with the understanding that maybe he'll turn you down?

The joke begins with the owner. Focusing on celebrity ownership, installing a nightclub in the stadium, orange carpet, AND a completely ****ed up pursuit of a HC candidate all points to one guy. His franchise is a joke right now, and it's because of him.
 
Yeah, clearly it's the owner's fault for trying to replace a bad coach. Clearly. If only we had supported Tony Sparano more, guys. This team that quit on him with three weeks to go last season would have played REAL hard for him. Real hard.
