Steely Dan Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Please don't turn this into a Dick Jauron B word session there are A LOT of other threads for that. Thank you. Tony Sparano has taken the Poorpisses from the worst team last year to a competitive team and has created the latest NFL fad. I almost can't write this but Bill Belichick who has dealt with IIRC the most injuries of any team this year and is still keeping the Pets* extremely competitive. Jim Zorn has taken the Washington Redskins and put them in second place in the NFCE which is probably the toughest division in the NFL. Ken Whisenhunt has done the near impossible and has made the Cardinals competitive. Granted in a very weak division. Jeff Fisher undefeated so far this season. Mike Smith has taken a team in turmoil and worked with a rookie QB and is polishing the turd.
DDD Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I'll go with Sparano but let's remember that last year's 1-15 season was in large part because of injuries. The Dolphins lost Trent Green and Ronnie Brown, traded their best WR in Chris Chambers, and Ricky Williams was out suspended. Chad Pennington was a gift to them this year otherwise John Beck or Chad Henne would be starting and no way would they be 5-4. That said Tuna and Sparano have done good things especially when you consider they dumped their two best defensive players in Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor..

I hated to do it but I picked Sparano too. He's created a very successful fad in addition to turning the franchise around. If you and I voted for Sparano why is there only one vote for him right now?
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Another- Mike Smith HC- Atlanta falcons Rookie qb who looks like he's been in the league for 4 years already. I thought Matt Ryan was gonna be good, but damn. 1st year starting rb who backed up LT. Turner flashed potential behind lt for a few years. He's turning out to live up to that potential behind what was considered to be not a very good offenseive line wr's who underachieved for years due to apparantly bad quarterback play A suspect defense who's playing pretty damn good. John Abraham is actually healthy this year, and his talent is shining thru. Maybe a candidate for DPOY. Getting solid play across the board in the frony 7 and their secondary. Lawyer Milloy is still playing at a high level. Yeah I'm gonna go with Mike Smith for COTY

R. Rich Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 How could I have forgotten him!! You didn't.
DDD Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Can I make sure Mike Singletary is not added to the list? Any dude that pulls his pants down to demonstrate a point gets no props from me.
Rayzer32 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Hey, when did Tony Soprano start coaching? He must have needed the money after his show ended.
Offside Number 76 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Can I make sure Mike Singletary is not added to the list? Any dude that pulls his pants down to demonstrate a point gets no props from me. He's got my vote, though. First game, sends a player to the showers. Gives a killer press conference after--the kind of press conference that we'll be watching like it was Jim Mora screaming "playoffs?" or Denny Green screaming "they are who we thought they were," only actually respecting it this time. Singletary already has turned the niners right around.
Steely Dan Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 Hey, when did Tony Soprano start coaching? He must have needed the money after his show ended. I always have a hard time saying Sparano's name because I've watched a lot of Soprano's and it's a hard habit to break. Junior Soprano team owner Tony's coaching staff Silvio Dante Asst. HC Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri DC Christopher Moltasante DB's Ralph Cifaretto LB's coach Salvatore 'Big Pus sy' Bonpensiero DL Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri OL coach Dr. Jennifer Melfi QB's Pasquale 'Patsy' Parisi RB's Vito Spatafore WR/TE coach Artie Bucco nutrionist Agent Harris film breakdowns A.J. Soprano waterboy.

What a year he's having....everyone predicted the Falcons to be dead in the water before the season even started. Rookie HC, Rookie QB, back-up RB now a starter, a year removed from a coach quitting on his players...all signs pointed to disaster and regardless of what happens from here on out, they've over-achieved BIG TIME. Mike Smith.. COTY.
boomerjamhead Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I have to go with Tom Coughlin on this one because the Giants are cruising right now.

Singletary already has turned the niners right around. Uh, also he's 0-2 on the year and lost 38-13 to one of the sh*ttiest teams in the NFL. You know what happens to interim coaches who don't win games? They are replaced by the start of the next season.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Whiz. He's made all the right decisions--e.g., benching Edge and Leinart, not trading away Boldin. I think the Cardinals will go to the Super Bowl this year.
R. Rich Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Hey, when did Tony Soprano start coaching? Right 'round the time that the play on the Miami head coach's name stopped becoming so hysterical.
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I will put my vote in for Mike Mularkey! What a great job he is doing with a ROOKIE QB. He has really turned this team's Offense around. Hasn't he?
Fan in Chicago Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 At this point of the season, I vote for Fisher.
