What A surprise
.
Profile: Tony Sparano
Age: 46
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
College: New Haven
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coaching experience:
1984-87: University of New Haven, O-line coach 1988: Boston University, O-line coach 1989-1993: Boston, offensive coordinator 1994-98: New Haven, head coach 1999: Browns, offensive quality control coach 2000: Browns, offensive line coach 2001: Redskins, tight ends coach 2002: Jaguars, tight ends coach 2003-04: Cowboys, tight ends coach 2005-06: Cowboys, offensive line coach 2007: Cowboys, assistant head coach
The Dolphins have tabbed Dallas assistant coach Tony Sparano as their new head coach, replacing the fired Cam Cameron, FOXSports.com has learned.
Dolphins officials on Wednesday morning phoned the other candidates who interviewed and informed them of the team's decision.
Sparano was thought to be the heavy favorite from the day Bill Parcells was hired and that speculation mounted when Parcells hired Jeff Ireland away from Dallas to be the team's new GM.
Sparano is a true football guy with a no-nonsense approach and a great connection with players. Two years ago, Sean Payton tried to hire him as the Saints offensive coordinator and he asked Parcells to let him go. Parcells, then with Dallas, balked and declined the request.
He's probably pretty happy now that he did. Jim Schwartz of the Titans, Leslie Frazier of the Vikings and Rex Ryan of the Ravens also interviewed for the post. |
