Jim Harbaugh has been a big part of that discussion, as rumors have it that he will leave Stanford for greener pastures, perhaps in the
NFL. Among the teams rumored to acquire his services in the near future are the
San Francisco 49ers,
Denver Broncos and
Miami Dolphins.
While it would be fitting for Harbaugh to join the
Broncos, as we would not be the first to join the Broncos via Stanford (John Elway, anyone), I have a darkhorse pick for that head-coaching vacancy: Tony Sparano.
Sparano has not been fired by the Dolphins yet, but he is one of the coaches who has been rumored to get the ax soon. If he does, he may be a good fit for Denver, if only because he would be the perfect coach for their quarterback of the future,
Tim Tebow.
If there ever was a perfect quarterback for the Wildcat formation, it is Tim Tebow. He can run, throw and even throw while jumping.
Sparano, in case the 2008 Dolphins' game at
New England was forgotten, is the coach who brought the Wildcat to the NFL.
Together, they can revolutionize the NFL, turning the Wildcat formation into a standard in NFL playbooks everywhere.
And in the process, they can turn the Broncos into a playoff, if not Super Bowl, contender once again.
