Tony Sparano's Future

If the Dolphins have a good record with a playoff birth in 2009, look for Tony Sparano to be a mainstay in Miami, just as Bill Cowher was in Pittsburgh. He was a Parcells guy from the beginning. In one of my earlier posts, I will admit I wanted someone with experience. Brian Billick was actually on the top of my list. Sparano has never had head coaching experience in the NFL, but he was an assistant head coach with the Cowboys. You can say he has seen what it takes. Sparano is a football minded guy. He sticks to the fundamentals. You noticed injuries were not an abundance this year compared to last season with Cam Cameron. Preparation is a huge part of playing the game. Sparano knew what it took and he brought in coordinators assist with his logic and carry a new culture. Sparano brings a certain kind of toughness to the team. It was a bend, but don't break defense this year. Unlike last year and years before, the Dolphins found ways to lose close games instead of winning them.
