Simple answer because several coaches are on the verge of being fired or have been including Jack Del Rio. I'm sure Ross the owner wants a jump on a proven coach before another team beats him to it. I don't think Jeff "the traitor" Ireland will be the GM next year.
Now who's worthy of building the Dolphins? Chucky?! Please, he single handledly ruined the Tampa Bay Bucs after Tony Dungy built the team.
Bill Cowher? Maybe but I don't think he'll have success in Miami.
Jeff Fisher? He was the most consistent and had a falling out with the owner over Vince Young. I'd definitely take Fisher but to bad about Sparano as I liked him as a coach, just got his feet taken out from under him by Ross and Ireland last year once Parcells bailed on the team and owner.

What? No love for TJ Yates and the Texans for their gutsy comeback clinching their first ever Division title and playoff spot? Tebow and others are doing some amazing things, but I can't help but think the Texans have something pretty special going on with all the major injuries they have dealt with and are still dealing with this season. Yates' final drive was very Tebow/Elway-esque with so much riding on the outcome. Plus the Texans were the first team to clinch a division title and playoff spot (yeah only because they played before GB), but when you consider that Texan fans were screaming for Kubiak's scalp this time last year going 6-10 and having the worst pass defense in NFL history to the #2 defense in the NFL this year and now in the playoffs (thanks Wade Phillips!!!) for the first time and still with the top record in the AFC if the playoffs started today, I am blown away by this years team.....
Looking at the horrible team in Indianapolis, is it a stretch to think Peyton may have been the second-best Manning brother at QB in the NFL this season, even if he was healthy and playing?

Honestly Divot I didn't see it. I had to suffer the Tebow thing because I am a Bears fan. I watched the Giants because I hate the Cowboys. I have no idea what Yates did.
I thought Manning was outstanding, season on the line down by 12 with 5 minutes left. He played out of his mind.

Good question, but I think Indy's season went down the tubes the minute the team realized PM was not going to play. I don't believe they would have been anywhere near as bad with PM as they are today. I truly believe the minute the team knew he was out, their mental baloon was burst for the season. Put PM on that team this year and they win minimum 8 games IMO....

Not taking anything away from Eli, but Yates was down by 9 points with less than 6 min to go and drove the team on two 13 play 83 and 80 yard drives to win the game with a 6 yd TD pass with :02 left. Fifth round rookie QB threw for 300 yards (26-44, 5 inc's due to spiking the ball) and rushed for 40 with a clutch 17 yard scramble with 22 seconds left for a key 3rd down conversion. Hell, I did not get to actually watch the game as I had to follow it on ESPN Gamecast as I am in West Africa, but lt was thrilling just the same. The Texans motto this year is "next man up" with all the injuries they have had this year and for the first time ever, I am seeing a true team who never gives up on any game. They have a 7 game winning streak and could finish the regular season with a 10 game winning streak with Carolina and Tenn at home and Indy on the road. All depends on if they decide to rest starters. I hope not because if they win out, they currently have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
GEEZUS....Texans lost another starter yesterday....Mike Brisiel start OG to a fractured fibula. Out a minimum of 3 weeks, same injury Daniel Manning suffered earlier in the season and he returned in 3 weeks.....will this major injury crap ever stop?

If they're fighting for home field advantage they're not going to rest anyone. You know this
Im so excited .... I wont be able to sleep tonight!
Oh me either.. I bet they are expecting some high ratings for this one!
We are all off to a flying start.
First the scumbag refs ignore a BLATANT right in the middle of the play block in the back on the Seahawks trick kick return then they block the first of many Rams punts and return it for a TD.

Its going to be a long night for the lammies.
LONG night it was.. goodness. I'm deflated and ready for bed after that agonizing game.

Amazing how a two win team can still ruin your night with a s*** performance like that.
I dont want to turn on Sam so quickly in only his second season as he did suck it up and try to play but he looked like a freaking girl out there....tiptoeing around and throwing fluttering crappy balls...He looked like a shell of Bradford 2010.
IF YOU CANT f***in PLAY LIKE A MAN DONT f***in PLAY!!!!
Say what you will about Tebow and I dont think he has a chance in hell at succeeding long term with that crappy ass arm but the dude plays balls out every play.
As for Spags. I know you are trying to save your job but cmon...Really?

I'm trying to find good things out of this team, really...
Playcalling is horrible, personal decisions have been questionable to say the least.. I'm not sure where this team goes from here?
Sam Hurd of the Bears busted on federal drug charges. Idiot wanted to set up his own business with the purchase of several kilos of cocaine and half a ton of weed. Guess when you aren't getting enough playing time you have to fill your days with something...

My favorite part of the story so far is that he made the deal that got him busted despite the fact that he knew the Feds were watching him. He agreed to a voluntary interview a few months ago when one of his partners got pinched. Real rocket scientist.

Hoodie thinks Tebow has a chance, doesn't see what all the whining is about. But I really want to see Denver win again cause it only pisses John Elway off every time Denver puts another W in the win column and Tebow gets the credit.
Navy, Army, Air Force, the Denver Broncos. They could all share a playbook. Screw Andrew Luck or RGIII, Kriss Proctor and Tim Jefferson should clearly be the top QB's taken next year. It's brutally boring...but it works.
