Did not see previous comment League Leaders - Offense Total Offense (YPG) Complete List 1. New England Patriots 411.2 2. Green Bay Packers 370.7 3. Dallas Cowboys 365.7 4. New Orleans Saints 361.2 5. Indianapolis Colts You think offensive line had something to do with this ranking. Who was the offensive line coach? or was Wade Wilson just a puppet talking on Sparano's behalf? Of course, Wade Phillips had something to do with 12-1, but he also had something to do with 2-3. I also think Parcells is no idiot and picked the right man for the job under the circumstances. Not to many prospective coaches want to take on the task of 1-15 team the previous year.
Say what you want... but look back at the films and see the last month. If they were able to block anyone in the past month of the season. I realize the yearly stats, the scoring and yards, but in the end when it matters the most??? He couldn't get them to perform. I remember seeing the game and him screaming and yelling at the O-line to block - which they didn't. How you finish is much more important than how you start as evidence by their season. I don't blame him exclusively, but if you can't get your "guys" to perform during the last month of the season, how does that reflect on a coach? They went South with 4 games to play and I don't think they put up any good numbers against the Panthers, Eagles, Skins, or G-Men. Way too many penalties and false starts. Undisciplined. Now don't take this wrong as I really do like the guy. I am not throwing him under the bus as to say. Just that he is not a savior if he can't motivate his own guys. Do I like him as a Coach? Yes. Do I think he will make a good head coach? Maybe? But, he needs to get fixed (as does Parcells) late season collapses. How is it that you get your guys to perform so well until the last few games and then they lay eggs? Do you think it has NOTHING to do with the coaches? I think they should share the blame. In the case of Miami, they have nowhere to go but up. One thing about Parcells that you simply can't deny, he leaves any franchise better (talent wise) than when he got there.
I love me some Bill Parcells coaching tree! One thing about Parcells that you simply can't deny, he leaves any franchise better (talent wise) than when he got there. Sure, but you have to take into account the fact that he'll then go on to raid coaches and players from his old team when he gets a new gig...
Sparano doing the right thing by going to work for Bill Pursell,I don't know.
You'd better work hard for Tony Sparano, or you'll be sleeping with the fishes...
Look, it's not like it's going to get a whole lot worse for us Dolphins fans. I was prepared to go perfect this year, but I'll admit to a certain amount of relief when they couldn't even do that right. If they don't win a single game next year, I'm ready for that, too. But if they think I'll stand by while they go through some kind of New Orleans Saints phase, well, shit, they're right. I will. I will now go throw darts at my Kellen Winslow Sr. Fathead.
