The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Tony Sparano despite his team’s resurgence in the second half of the season.
Sparano’s head has been on the chopping block for some time, including this offseason when the team was rumored to want a new head coach.
Awkwardly, the Dolphins were unable to land the big names it was courting and had to back and give Sparano a vote of confidence.
The team got off to a terrible start this year thanks to a season-ending injury to the starting quarterback, Chad Henne. (Read More…)

The Miami Dolphins saw their struggles continue in a 26-16 loss to the San Diego Chargers.

The team was also hurting at the running back position with rookie Daniel Thomas out, forcing them to feature Reggie Bush in the backfield. (Read More…)

Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington remains hopeful he will be able to play football in 2011.
Pennington is coming off of more shoulder surgery but still wants to come back and play quarterback.
Ironically, he was named starter in Week 10 and managed just a couple of plays before suffering the injury.
Some of Pennington’s desire to return has to do with Chad Henne’s struggles for much of last season. (Read More…)

The host Miami Dolphins couldn’t get anything going offensively in a 16-0 loss to the Chicago Bears.
The Dolphins were obviously handicapped offensively by being forced to start their third string quarterback.
It also didn’t help that wide receiver Brandon Marshall left the game with a hamstring injury and did not return.
Miami’s defense played pretty well but wasn’t able to pressure Jay Cutler enough to generate a lot of turnovers. (Read More…)

Head coach Tony Sparano said the move is not an indictment on Henne and that they still believe he will be a great quarterback.
He said that Henne has improved drastically over the past year and that he remains very important to the team. (Read More…)

The Miami Dolphins got a big day from their kicker and defense in a 22-14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kicker Dan Carpenter tallied the team’s first 12 points of the game, knocking home four field goals, including a 51-yarder.
Running back Ricky Williams finished with the team’s only touchdown of the day, but it was still enough to get past Cincinnati.
If the Dolphins could find some cornerbacks and safeties that could catch, they would have put this game away early. (Read More…)
