You would not want to be in Tony Sparano's shoes these days. Or should we say cement shoes? The Dolphins are 0-5. Their prospects of turning around the season are not good with Matt Moore under center.
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has been jonesing for a high-profile replacement for Sparano since the offseason, when his furtive pursuit of Jim Harbaugh blew up in his face. Ross’ not-so-secret interest in Jon Gruden may have prompted Gruden's recent contract extension with ESPN.
The Dolphins want to market themselves through a head coach with a high Q rating. Sparano is not that guy. Sparano might not even last until the offseason. It's possible he will be gone in the coming weeks, with defensive coordinator Mike Nolan replacing him on an interim basis.
