Sparano Is On His Way To Miami

Tony Sparano is expected to be officially announced as the head coach for the Miami dolphins, after being seen in Ft. Lauderdale on Tuesday aboard a Dolphins’ jet. It is for the second time that the Cowboys assistant head coach came for discussions with Miami officials, following the January 5 meeting.

No official comments have been made by any of the Miami team representatives, but an official announcement could be expected on Wednesday. Sparano would thus become the fifth coach the Dolphins have hired in the past three years, as stability is apparently hard to find these days.

Sparano, 46, became free of contract as soon as the playoff against the Giants ended with a disappointing loss for the Cowboys, who apparently decided to split paths. At the same time, the Miami Dolphins had previously fired Cam Cameron after a disastrous 1-15 season.

And as a sign of appreciation, Sparano couldn’t have just come on his own to Miami. Instead, the Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland personally travelled to Dallas to pick him up in the team’s private jet, which could mean Sparano and the Dolphins are likely to reach an agreement.

However, the decision would come as no surprise for anyone, as the Dolphins’ desire to put Sparano as head of the team was already being rumored. Apparently the Miami weren’t Sparano’s only choice however, after he negotiated with Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens as well in the past few weeks.

An official announcement is still pending, but the two meetings couldn’t have resulted in nothing, and Sparano may be heading to a new job in Miami, and perhaps lift the team up where its officials and fans want it, and erase the memory of a unsuccessful season for the Dolphins.
