    What's the under/over on how long before the "SCHOTTY WASN'T THAT BAD" thread appears?

    Probably the same as the "George W Bush Wasn't that Bad" thread. Infinity?

    Sparano was the OC in Miami?

    meh... While I'v been vocal in my disapproval of Schotty since Favre was here, I'm not thrilled about this hire.
    My Thoughts of Sparano were on par with the posts of the past few Dolphans. I'm also not a fan of the co-cordinator concept.

    I want to be wrong. We'll see.

    Don't try and reason with him. He and junc refuse to hear anything that makes too much sense.

    This is retard. What the fuck is going on with the Jets? This shit is turning into more of a circus than a championship bound football team. First, Taylor now sparano? What's next... Zach Thomas? Don't let him make Freedom fries!

    Can't wait!

    Thanks, this is something positive

    Man some of you people are fucking amazing. This fanbase is never happy unless they have something to bitch about. We just got rid of one of the worst OC's in the game, someone who has a 7 year track record of producing below average offenses... and we replaced him with someone who had a 5th ranked offense the last time he was an OC and was responsible for bringing one of the most unguardable offensive schemes into the NFL.

    Sparano was not a good head coach. Luckily, we didn't hire him to be a head coach. When he was in Dallas, Romo took over midseason. He CATERED to Romo. He used two tight end sets, he got the run game going (and NOT up the middle all day), and he set Romo up to succeed. That was Schotty's biggest problem! He had no clue how to cater to what he had on the field. With Sparano, I believe we will see way more of what he did in Dallas and Miami than what some uneducated fans want us to do and throw the ball downfield all day.

    I think we will see Sanchez rolling out, I think we will see an outside the numbers running game, I think we will see Keller get a big boost (see: Witten/Fasano) and I think we will play EFFECTIVELY. Look at the dog shit Sparano had to work with in Miami since Chad left. He dug up the Wildcat to nullify his shitty QB. When he had Pennington, he catered perfectly to his talents. They STILL had a potent offense despite being one of the worst teams in the league for the two years following that!

    And if we can add Haley, that's just a bonus.

    This is a good move, but I wouldn't expect the Jets fanbase represented on this site to understand or accept that.





    Thanks for your perspective and fact finding. Good job!

    It's a move that signals giving up on Sanchez & the passing game. Signing Haley would signal that they haven't given up on Sanchez. Get'r done

    You mean like when they went to the Super Bowl? Kurt Warner was a key part of the equation, but don't pretend the rest of the offense doesn't matter when a team gets that far.

    You have been pulling Schotty's pud for a while now over conference championship appearances.

    How quickly people forget Warner was done before Haley got to him. Leinart was starting. Warner was barely given the opportunity. Haley didn't start calling plays until the 2008 season, and what do you know, ALL of Warner's numbers went up in 2008 from the year before.

    But yea, it was Warner making Haley look good... give me a fucking break.

    Rex has always wanted to run the ball, this is his first chance to hire an OC, let's see how it goes. I don't think that means you're giving up on the passing game, the key for either one is you have to block. The greatest play calls in the world don't work if you can't block and guys are dropping the football. Not sure how much of that was Schotty's fault.

    What don't you get...

    He is ultra conservative by nature...

    Guess you didn't watch our offense go into a shell once we got into field goal range...

    At the head coach, he had input into the style of our offense and he choose to play it super safe and go for the three points...

    He was supposed to open it up more this year after being criticized for being too conservative...Guess what he did...he still went the ultra conservative mode and we started 0-7...

    Oh well. You all will see it next season. Your hatred for Shotty is making you all think that anything is better...

    He wasn't very conservative in Dallas as OC is what we are arguing. When you know, he was actually in the position he is in now with the Jets

    You can't be this dumb. I'll put it in caps, and seperate the lines so maybe it will make things easier for you to read:

    SPARANO WAS NOT CALLING PLAYS IN MIAMI

    SPARANO WAS CALLING PLAYS IN DALLAS

    SPARANO'S MENTALITY IN DALLAS WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE DOLPHINS' OF THE PAST FEW YEARS

    THEREFORE, YOU CAN NOT DRAW SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO

    Never going to be made. Schotty was that bad. Maybe a thread called SPARANO IS JUST AS BAD AS SCHOTTY WAS could happen.

    Those stats make you wonder why Sparano never took over play calling duties in Miami.

    The more I think about the Sporano hire, the more I'm okay with it. Haley would be a welcomed addition as well.
