You would be surprised how few people actually get the reference, considering the fact that Die Hard is on TV like every other day.
A lot of people also thought that the world was going to blow up during Y2K. A lot of people are morons.
Well here is one Dolphins fan who thinks this is a good hire by the Jets. I think most of my fellow fans are displaying sour grapes with their comments. 1.) They get a guy who has coached in their division for the last four years. It’s basically like pooling everything the Dolphins know about your division rivals with everything the Jets already knew about them. 2.) They get a guy who knows the Dolphins personnel, weaknesses and strengths – better than the Dolphins new coach will (assuming Todd Bowles – the only on-staff coach to interview for the position, isn’t hired). 3.) Oh BTW, (as has been talked about in Miami), if Fisher goes elsewhere… and Bowles does get the job (as Mike Nolan and Brian Daboll are well thought of as coordinators, and might be inclined to stay with Bowles)… the Jets get a guy who knows both the offensive and defensive scheme’s of the Dolphins as well as those coordinators do. Heck, he hired Daboll and helped merge his playbook with his own. 4.) When the Jets were good (b2b AFC championship losses)… they were a ground and pound offense, who could throw when they chose. Well Tony Sparano is ground and pound – and regardless of what you think of his work, he always seemed to find some way to run the ball with some success. 5.) If Sparano can handle Ritchie Incognito’s attitude, and turn in into a positive…. not to mention command the respect and attention of an entire 0-7 team – and still have them playing hard regardless… he’s more than capable of ironing out the out of control personalities which made the Jets offense a bigger a story AFTER the last game of the year – than it was before. The only possible negative, or wash... is I don't see this hire doing much for Sanchez's development, pending additional staff changes (new QB coach). But at this point, is there really any hire that could have been made that makes you anticipate huge improvement from Sanchez? Doubtful. As I said, I hate the Jets as much as anyone…. but I think people are fooling themselves if they see this as anything but a net positive for the Jets.
The fucking dolphins have nothing to be laughing about...They are a bigger mess then most teams in this league. Enjoy Ireland rabies. Matt Moore will surely save that franchise
I am happy with the move. Let's give him some support. It won't take much to improve over what we had.
You couldn't be more wrong. Sparano is a hell of a coach. When he had a GOOD qb, he took a 1-15 team to the playoffs (pennington). When he had a competent qb, his teams were in every game (matt moore). The problem was always Henne. Guys play hard for him, and he doesn't take sh!t. He doesn't talk big, but his guys go hard always. Chad Henne was our issue. Tony was never given a chance, hamstrung by Henne. Our loss is your guys gain. Brilliant move by the Jets, unfortunately for us. ps...most Dolphins fans will disagree with me, but most Dolphins fans...rather, most football fans...are idiots.
Ireland built a great foundation..we just never had a qb. Matt Moore is very competent. We'll be competing for the playoffs next year. If we got a great qb,..skys the limit. And if your response is the Dolphins have no talent...well, then you just don't know football.
He'll be a good addition to your team, a good contrast to your coach..and probably your head coach soon enough..I think he's a good coach that inherited a mess from 1 and 16, had his exec boss quit on him, and still kept the team together..jmo.
