    Owner not talking to the coach...

    Rumors surround about Cowher...

    Coach apathetic to the situation on talking to his boss...

    Just the makings that he is done and he knows it. Seen this situation all to many times in sports.

    He should be fired immediately along with Henning.

    Name Nolan interim head coach and start putting feelers out.. No need to have Sparano continue to stunt our development on offense if he is lame duck.. Open up the playbook and see what Henne can do these final two weeks.

    Ross will ask him if he wants to leave in the morning or afternoon.

    Not so certain about that, but wouldn't be surprised either. My gut says he gets another year w/ a new OC. And if we do fire him, it has to be Cowher or nobody else! No sense making the move if not.

    Whether he stays or goes, Sparano did help orchestrate the best season we have had in nearly 2 decades....

    And he bled Aqua and Orange.. For that I will always be grateful.. But the time has come to make a change.. As much as it pains me to admit it.

    Make Todd Bowles the interim coach. He's already the assistant HC but you get your rooney rule compliance out of the way

    Henning would probably force Nolan into playing prevent defense all game.

    The Rooney Rule doesn’t work that way.

    Also, I disagree with the premise of the OP. Typically, the owner doesn’t talk to anyone during the football season, unless their names are Snyder, Davis, or Jones. Doesn’t mean anything.

    Yeah right! Wanny went 11-5 and 12-4 not to mention won a playoff game. JJ won playoff games and in the 1990s Shula and Marino won playoff games all within 2 decades!

    Morano is nothing more then a puppet in Tuna Miedoffs NFL smoke and mirrors show! Hit a fanbase quick with marginal success get their hopes up so the ignore the true failure being built!

    so firing him is the logical choice, but not before hanging Henning next to the statue of Marino...

    Pour out the bath water with the baby.

    Sparano doesn't think Henning has done anything wrong.

    This is the one that kills me...

    People are reading and hear what they want to hear Des, no point trying to explain that one..:D

    As for Ross, well he is an odd duck to begin with, this is his first time owning a NFL franchise, who knows what he is thinking at the moment? To take an off the cuff comment from Sparano and stretch it out into "he is going to be fired" seems a case of wishful thinking imho.

    Did I miss the last 2 games? We had like 125 yards of offense against the Jets oh and exactly how many points did we put up against the Clowns!

    Those responses tell it all! Play conservative football.

    Tony Sparano sounds like a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown.. Talking in the third person and suffering from delusional thoughts...



    For the love of god we need to fire him before dementia kicks in.

    Those rankings deal with yards. Screw yards..what matters are points. What good does it do to move from your 20 to the opponents 30 only to settle for a FG attempt every time?

    You know, when I first read this, my knee jerk reaction was no way Ross does that with only two games remaining. But, you know what...it's not a bad idea. Bump Lee up to OC (to give him a dress rehearsal), and let Penny be the QB's coach. Would be interesting to see what impact it would have on the team's performance the last two games.

    Sparano sounds like a man who takes total responsibility for his job and does not throw his players or coaching staff under the bus to save his hide.

    Sparano would be a great coach to work for.

    It does make him a great boss.

    Now that I am a day after the loss and no longer thinking emotionally, if they can hire a good OC and put the effort into the offense that they put in the defense, then the Dolphins could be a very good team next year.

    People want to give all the defensive credit to Nolan, however Sparano deserves as much credit for the defense as he does blame on the offense.
