Comments on: Tony Sparano says Dolphins gave “a heck of an effort” in defeat http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/31/tony-sparano-says-dolphins-gave-a-heck-of-an-effort-in-defeat/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:10:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mackie66 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/31/tony-sparano-says-dolphins-gave-a-heck-of-an-effort-in-defeat/#comment-1360162 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:37:33 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=164174#comment-1360162 Did anyone with a half a brain really believe the Dolphins were going to win the NYG game? The Dolphinss quit long ago, knowing Sparano would be gone after this season. We hear lots of bravado coming from inside the Dolphin locker room, so what. They stink, your 0-7 Sparano, you are what your record says you are. The Giants played a very poor game untill crunch time, which is that time in a game the Dolphins dont know anything about,,,winning in the 4th qt. Read Miami Heralds article today about how bad the Dolphins really are. The Dolphins played tough till the end, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I even respect the guy. He may not be the right coach for this team, but you can’t slam his character or tenacity.

I only wish (and dare) all sports writers and columnists to put the spotlight on Ireland or the “holy grail” of coaches Bill Parcells for JUST ONE WEEK the way they put it on Sparano.

How about GM Watch week after week.

How about “Hall of Fame Coach” watch after what he did to Miami week after week.

Tony doesn’t deserve to take the whole brunt of this. Even if he will anyways.

Good job guys”.

Im not a Dolpins fan but I can relate to the pain…just keep going both fins and fans…dont give up on your team. Thats what makes you a TRUE fan…un-like some of the “fair weather fans” I see in here.
Hell…its easy to run your mouth when you team is up and all is great. The biggest mouths in here are no where to be found when things get tough.
You know who you are!

And now, only a few years removed from the NFL’s first ever 0-16, and we might triple that this year. Thanks Miami and Indy. No one could be happier than Detroit fans. Although, if I remember correctly, the Dolphins were one lucky Greg Camarillo touch down away from 0-16 in 07′, and here we are only 4 years later, and they are trying to, err, “run the table” again, lol..

But, it looks like Miami will get a victory against the Skins, leaving only Indy to run the table, lol

The team obviously plays hard for the coach. I hope Sparano ends up coaching the line somehwere in the league. If Parcells find you viable then their must be a spot for you somewhere.

Makes me appreciate my Eagles, well run organization, stability at all levels and a diehard fan base. Something not every NFL team has the luxery of.

But there was a lot of improvement made in a lot of areas against a good football team.”

Yet another small quote that encapsulates this man. You aren’t any better but improved in a lot of areas? He simply can’t hack it as an NFL head coach, no matter how likable he is.

The Colts are headed full blast for the 0-16 season. The Fins need to keep pace which should make the Washington game a real purse swinging affair.

Good showing against a better team like NYG. They are hanging in there because of the effort, in the end they can’t keep up for the full 60 because the talent is lacking.

Charlie Donovan: How about a series of fines for good play? Maybe a $30,000 bonus to the guy voted Least Valuable Player.

Rachel Phelps: Maybe the problem is… we’re coddling these guys too much. Yeah!

Sparano is NOT head coach material, hell, I dont think he is even a good aassistant coach. He got his position by knowing the right people at the right time. Parcells got his positions much the same way except he parlayed the overrated hype bestowed upon him to multiple opportunities.
