Dolphins Fire ST coach after embarassing loss

[Dpantherman]

Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano just announced he has “moved on” from special teams coach John Bonamego, replacing him with special teams assistant Darren Rizzi.

Special teams breakdowns came in a “tidal wave” on Monday night, Sparano said after the game, but this had been an ongoing problem.

“This was a tough decision,” Sparano said. “I thank Bono for all he’s done. Players need to take responsibility too.”

yea, I think they gave up like 21 points off of Special Teams alone

hey at least ST looks good for the panthers. LOL who would have thought this year it would be our ST being the best group on the team?

So this is what accountability looks like?

I've always wondered why coaches/players get too many chances here. Is it JR's "family friendly" atmosphere? Is he religious? Does he believe in multiple chances? I mean, damn, they were 2-1 and the Pats abuse the Dolphins ST. Not saying they were good while going 2-1, but their coach is like...see ya! It'd be nice if we could do that as well. I'm looking at you, Davidson.

Welcome to America, country of the "what have you done for me lately" and "kneejerk reactions".

That was just a disaster. Miami has bigger problems than ST position

not really......

7-6 miami up at half time. and thats WITH 2 ints from henne (and 2 tds)

henne is young, but getting better. 660+ yards and 5 tds the last 2 weeks for henne. i like that.

Our defense held moss to "0" catches, and their offense to 13 points....

Patriots got 21 points on STs and 7 on defense.

disgusting performance on our special teams unit. We really, dont have much more problems than STs. We have our starting inside linebacker, DE, and RG out the last 2 weeks due to injuries. We get them back after this bye week, and we are gunna get rolling again

[Mr. Scot]

Could be "accountability". Could be "reactionary."

What happens with their special teams from here forward will answer that.

[Henne Given Sunday]

regardless of "what it was"......it 100% had to happen. 21 points against special teams is a god damn joke. on national tv, at home, against divisional rivals, before a bye week.

Thats a pathetic pathetic performance. and Sparano was correct. The fans deserve better than that. As do the offensive and defensive players
