Sparano has to go

NYJ and Pitt were games we nearly won.

and this team nearly lost games against the bills, vikings, and packers. that works both ways...

this team does nothing that is consistently good except kick field goals. not sure what people take away from the pounding against baltimore that leads them to think this team is better than plain mediocrity in a league built for parity.

hey if they get to 10 - 6, that would be a great accomplishment i think. folks need a hard dose of reality though... talent wise this team is average at best, and halfway through the season they haven't shown steady improvement in anything. coaches are working with limited, average talent on this current roster.

I had to laugh a bit. In one sentence it is mentioned the league is built for parity and then in another sentence there is a complaint about having average talent on the team. In a league built for parity shouldn't everyone have average talent?

All this owner does is write checks and take care of things on the entertainment side.  He's just the kind of owner I like.

No! Let's get an owner who meddles as much as possible, stalking the sidelines, forcing the coach to switch quarterbacks, pushing through draft picks... That'll make us a better football team!

i didn't complain that this team has average talent, it's just a fact.

having a league built for parity doesn't exclude the fact that you will have elite teams. most teams will be average with average talent, a few will be terrible with terrible talent, and a handful will be elite with elite talent contending for championships. the dolphins are right in the middle, and won't be contenders until they get more players that are better than they have on the team right now.

coaching is not the problem for this franchise. cowher, gruden, lombardi, shula, <insert whatever coach here> are not going to get this team to another championship.
