Sparano is now collecting millions from Miami and NY for being a lousy coach. This is a fine example of an NFL coach..and still some of the people on these boards are convinced the best and only way to lock in success is to hire someone with NFL and or head coaching experience.

This whole organization is a train wreck and I agree that Wrecked Ryan should have been the first one to go but Tony Sparano is awful, lacks vision and frankly should not be coaching at this level. Good guy or not.

Take all your millions from being FIRED and get some new sunglasses Tony. Then ride off into the sunset.

I am amazed just how many of you think Sparano is a qualified offensive coordinator. Many astute football fans saw this coming. It was a turrible(Charles Barkley voice) hire. Sparano lacks innovation as he was an offensive line coach in Dallas prior to being annointed a head coach because of his Parcell’s connection. He actually may be a better head coach than coordinator because he can inspire and lead. He just lacks the skill to call or put together a game plan. He may be the anti-Norv

They’ve done a quadruple amputation on a patient that has brain cancer!! Woody I get that you’re a totally inept owner but for the love of christmas fire your head coach already. Why is it that you’re the only person on the planet at this point that doesn’t see it?

Good luck to Rex in hiring a new offensive coaching staff and defensive coordinator, when his own job security is about as thin as it gets. Rex may (or may not) be a good Head Coach, but one of the biggest parts of the job is hiring a good staff and without job security of your own that becomes next to impossible.

I must say that I completely disagree with this. I could understand an offensive coach not wanting the job because he lacks confidence in Sanchez, but Rex’s situation should get ppl running to the organization. If I’m an up and coming coach and believe I’m great, what better way to interview for their upcoming HC vacancy than showing my skills firsthand as their OC or DC?

I remember this clown constantly fist pumping after first quarter field goals. His hard headed decision of sticking with Sanchez showed what a fraud he really is as a football coach.

Sparano was actually fired during the 2011 season (Todd Bowles coached the last three games).

Waiting so long to fire him was more conservative than his offense.

Thankfully, the Jets fired Sparano before most teams have filled their head coaching vacancies. Now he is free to interv………….

Sorry, I was laughing too hard to finish that sentence.

The Jets hired the wrong guy. I still don’t know why they thought Tony was the mastermind behind Miami’s wildcat. It was David Lee the Miami QB coach in 2008. He brought it from Arkansas where he used it with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. I guess Tony forgot to tell them that in the interview..

Jets are a circus

That’s original. I never heard anyone say this before. How is firing an offensive coordinator being a circus anyway? There is plenty of things that make the Jets a circus, this isn’t one of them.

Sparano is the architect of failure.

Patriots nation is sad for Mr Sparano today. We were hoping to see him employed by the Jets for years to come.

Here’s another team that needs to hire Hue Jackson as OC. I mean after all Hue Jackson’s offense did put up 34 points on Rob Ryan in 2011 with J Campbell at QB. After which Rex Ryan declared he never gave up that many rushing yards in his life.

I don’t get these NFL teams. Caldwell over Hue Jackson. C’mon son.

And the coaching merry-go-round continues to turn – how long before some other team snaps up Sparano, even after two straight years of failing and being fired?

And is it time to start calling Tebow another ‘coach killer’, like Vick?

Mark Sanchez is the worst starting QB in the league. And is worse than some backups.

The Jets will call Norv Turner to fix the mess that is Mark Sanchez….

Sparano is in the top 10 of the biggest problems. What did he do right??? Nothing at all, and where was the Tebow playbook that he had???

Why is it when a team fails it is always the assistant coaches that get canned. Couldn’t possibly be that Sanchez is not an NFL QB. Just saying…

Seriously, they are going to fire everybody on this team before they figure out that Sanchez plain old sucks.

It is the equivalent of having your house falling down all around you and you decide to fire the painter.

I’m not saying Sparano is a great OC but rather he isn’t even in the top 10 of the Jet’s biggest problems.

perfect guy for todd haley and mike tomlin to bring in as offensive line coach in pittsburgh. Sparano or Andy Heck would be a great hire for the steelers.
