Report: Sparano Offered Miami Job

[CowboyMike]

Just saw it on local news.

Sparano was offered the job and is expected to accept after the Cowboys either lose or win the Super Bowl.

It was on local news, so take it for what it's worth.

Let the massacre begin..

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Dallas will lose a good coach, Sparano will be missed.

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Mines is black, cause it is night.

Thats a league rule I believe. He cant be hired while his current team is still playing.

I dont think he is the kind of guy that would walk away even if he could.

 

[theogt]

The horror.

Why not? Everyone else is.

Ah that's right. I was just thinking that because the guy isn't needed as much here, since we got Garrett as the OC.

Bada bing! Bada boom!

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Bada bing! Bada boom!

Yeah... what was the one from "The Untouchables"

DeNiro/Capone: I want you to get this punk where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!


Great line... great delivery...

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Sporano was gone after this season anyways,,, no way he and Garrett remain "co-offensive coordinators" for another year.

The New Haven Register, citing an unidentified source, is reporting Tony Sparano was offered and accepted the Dolphins' heading coaching job after interviewing with new general manager Jeff Ireland today.

Two problems:

1 - If Sparano accepted the position, why did he get on a plane and fly to Baltimore to interview with the Ravens later Saturday?

2 - Ireland and Bill Parcells know the rules. If they offered the job to Sparano, they would be in violation of the Rooney Rule, which states teams must interview at least one minority candidate. Sparano was the first to interview. Minnesota's Leslie Frazier, who is African American, is scheduled to interview on Monday.

Now, do I think the job eventually will be Sparano's? Yes. But Parcells went through the process of wording his contract in such a way that he could pry Ireland away from the Cowboys immediately and without compensation, so why would he blatantly violate the Rooney Rule? He wouldn't. Neither would Ireland.

Dam, this dog and pony show just will not end.

Everybody knows Sporano is going to be the fish HC next year. This "delay" is just for looks and to comply with the Rooney Rule.

Kinda like Tuna saying he is no longer in charge, Ireland is. Hey Bill, if that is the case what are you still doing in Miami? And why the 4 yr deal?

We are waiting for an answer.......................

Hello?

Garrett has interviewed for a few head coaching jobs. We could lose both.

Bowles also is gone after season. Our scouting department and staff is decimated going into playoffs and our QB is off in Mexico doing National Inquirer shoots.

Bill Parcells is making $4M a year overseeing football operations in Miami. If you have not noticed he moves real fast......
