The fallout from this...

[norad34]

What goes around comes around.

I don't like how Sparano has been twisting in the wind but what people fail to forget is that he's pulled the same tactic with his own players. Lets examine...

Matt Roth - That whole issue is still a mystery. Roth probably rubbed Sparano the wrong way.

Donald Thomas - Would not take crap from Sparano.

Justin Smiley - Too outspoken (Thomas and Smiley were the Dolphins best players as far as line play in 2008 - 2009).

Will Allen - The handling of his injury was stupid. He could have came back by game six (but then again, why come back to this mess?)

People who don't totally agree with Sparano end up in his doghouse. I don't know if he will be retained as coach but now, the shoe is on the other foot. Maybe he will see how it feels to be in a position which you can still be canned for no reason.

^ I see your view on those situations a bit skewed at best.....Injuries had alot to do with their departures...

this franchise is now a national joke. the outcome is we're going to give a coach we wanted to fire more money and an extension. As a reward for a 1-7 home record and losses to bill browns and lions. And probably beg him to take it bc no one else wants to coach the team!!

Berkeley welcome to the site man!! Glad to have ya here!

Yes we are a national joke. How some people can't see it or don't understand why this is a big story is beyond me. If Al Davis and the Raiders did this we all would be pointing and laughing and saying, oh those damn Raiders at it again. But now WE (the Dolphins) are the stupid franchise doing the foolish antics like the Raiders have done. Or the Lions, or insert past NFL laughingstocks.

This job for an OC isn't as bad as you make it sound.  Any OC will look like a genious after their first year with us.  We have solid offensive talent and will likey add more, so whoever comes here will look brilliant after a likely quick turn around.

And if you look at the way this thing went down, Ireland is apparently getting a pretty big vote of confidence.  The staff would be reasonably safe, because the GM is reasonably safe.

Solid offensive talent?? What games did you watch?! We have no QB. We have no RB's. Our o-line sucks. Our #1 TE is a #2 or #3 TE on any halfway decent team. Our #1 WR drops a ton of balls.

We have maybe the worst offense in the NFL.

Harbuagh, Cower, and Gruden didn't!

I believe we are talking about assistants, not HC's, there is a big difference.
