Tony Sparano Interviewed with Dolphins Jeff Ireland

The AP is reporting that Tony Sparano, assistant head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, interviewed today with former Cowboy and new GM of the Miami Dolphins Jeff Ireland. The Dolphins were fitting this in today as starting tomorrow Sparano is "off-limits" so to speak due to NFL rules. Sparano will not be able to be interviewed again until either the Cowboys lose and are out of the playoffs or if they by chance reach the Super Bowl, the open week before that. Sparano and Jason Garrett also interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens today as well.

Funny how Ireland is talking to his formers but not really. Both Ireland and Parcells want to hire a coach who holds their football philosophies so why not where they just came from. Sparano's only other head coaching experience was at New Haven from 94-98.

Big Tuna To Cam Cameron, You're Fired, Trump Style

Laying down the law Trump style, the Miami Dolphins have fired Cam Cameron. Not only that, they cleaned house. Ireland and the Tuna released all but two members of the coaching staff today. The two reprieved coaches, George Edwards and Steve Hoffman, have a little history with Ireland and Parcells at the Dallas Cowboys. Some are calling it a courtesy move to release the staff as they will have the ability to either hunt for open vacancies else where as well as have the resolve to interview for upcoming positions once the new head coach is in place.

I personally think this was great move as there are a few coaches coming to tenure or that are already on the market as well, Billick, Singletary, Tice, Schottenheimer, Ryan, Caldwell. It looks like the Dolphins are finally putting a structure and plan for continuity. Now the next step is to see what players are kept.
