balta1701-A Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Link. Dallas Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano is the new Miami Dolphins head coach. Wonder why Tony Sparano was such a hot commodity on the coaching carousel? Matt Mosley explains. The two sides on Wednesday morning completed work on what ESPN.com has confirmed is a four-year contract worth about $2.5 million to $2.7 million per year. Sparano arrived at the team complex Wednesday wearing a suit and accompanied by new Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland. Owner Wayne Huizenga soon joined them, then left about an hour later. Not counting the interim tenure of Jim Bates in 2004, Sparano becomes the seventh head coach in franchise history, and replaces Cam Cameron, who lasted just one season in the job before being fired. In his first NFL head coaching job, Sparano inherits a team that won just one game in 2007; has obvious holes on the offensive side, including uncertainty at quarterback; and an aging defense.

Anyways, I think it's a good hire, although I still don't see the Dolphins winning more then 5 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, simply adding in Ronnie Brown, along with probably a high level defensive draft pick or two might easily be worth a few games.
