NFL Countdown is reporting Jets and Cowboys pursuing Sparano **Merge**

[Dwight]

That the Cowboys and Jets are trying to get Tony S. I hope Tony comes to Dallas.

per Mort on ESPN this AM. Jerry wants him back doesnt matter what Garrett wants. Maybe Haley too, he would get in Dez's face. Didnt say anything about defensive coaches.

Fixed.

I believe Sparano's decision would hinge upon how he would feel about Jason Garrett being his boss.

Very true. They also mention something about Todd Haley coaching with Tony. I thought that was interesting.

If you're Sparano, where do you go?

 

[Dwight]

If you're Sparano, where do you go?

The Cowboys (I'm being a homer). The Jets have to many issues.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

If you're Sparano, where do you go?

Probably the Jets where I'm actual OC and not just an OL coach.

With Rex's main attention on running the D, Tony would have much more freedom there.

BTW, did Mort really say this

Jerry wants him back doesnt matter what Garrett wants.

or is that the OP's opinion?

If I'm him I'm thinking I can get an o-coordinator job. And if they have a QB at that place, I go there. That is what he lacked in Miami. That's his best shot to be a head coach again I think.

If not, then I sign with a team like Dallas that will pay me a boatload, and bank on visibility getting me a o-coordinator or HC look the next year.

A $2M salary offer and Assistant Head Coach might grease the wheels a tad...'just call my name, and where ever Im - I'll come ruuuuning."

 

[DallasEast]

Staying in the division would allow Sparano to "get some revenge" on the Dolphins twice a year. Then again, staying within the division might feel somewhat humbling since he did not ultimately succeed as a head coach there.

 

[fffiasco]

I think dez would react better to robinson's coaching style vs haley's but who knows

I believe that players can tell you that their only boss is Teh Jerrah. Same would be the case with Sparano. Even Garrett was hired before Wade. There's no true hierarchy here.

 

[Hoofbite]

Nice cliffhanger title.

Hopefully he comes back.

Money ain't everything. And just how many assistant head coaches must one team bear?

 

[RS12]

Probably the Jets where I'm actual OC and not just an OL coach.

A HC is supposed to be able to name his own staff right? Sounded like this was all Jerry's idea.

All distractions set aside, once on the field, a team responds to it's head coach...period.

 

[UVAwahoos]

Depends on what exactly Jerrah is offering here. Clearly, his confidence in ginger is fragile at best right now. The team underperformed this season no matter how some of the fans want to rationalize and justify around it. Sparano might get more power here than some of you expect.

Not in Dallas.

Right on cue.

So, Sparano would throw out the offensive scheme which Garrett and Sparano would agree upon each week prior to every game? I do not see why not. Garrett is not his boss in any way, shape, form or fashion, correct?

I don't believe that.
