It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Dolphins sources insist the intent of the meeting was not to interview Mangini for the team's head-coaching position, but instead to pick his brain as a ``consultant'' who has ``knowledge of the division.''
Eric Mangini, the new Bill Parcells?
I can't believe how fast the Dolphins have gone from being the young upshot contender to being the joke of the league.
...Jeff Darlington reports that the Dolphins scheduled a meeting with Eric Mangini that was ultimately canceled Friday. After “persistent” requests, the Dolphins admitted the meeting was set up.
They say it was for a “consultant” role because Mangini knows the AFC East so well.
The plot thickens (even more):

One would think they’d lock in a head coach before calling in Mangini to consult, but owner Stephen Ross has consistently conducted himself in such a ridiculous manner the last four days that it’s hard to be surprised.
Sorry .. Dolphins extend Sparano through 2013
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that the Dolphins have extended head coach Tony Sparano's contract through 2013.
The new deal is an apology from owner Stephen Ross after he put Sparano and his coaching staff in a week-long holding pattern while trying to replace them with Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh didn't want to go to Miami, so Ross is back stuck with Sparano. Sparano is expected to serve an "expanded role in personnel decisions," while attempting to repair his relationship with the owner and GM Jeff Ireland, who both turned their back on him.

Can you explain to me why....
Sporano=tank
Harbaugh=success
And can you explain to me why....
It is important that a coach feels "important"
I hope that Al Davis passes on some of that virgin blood he's been drinking (according to Chiefs fans) to Bill Belichick so he can live forever.The Parcells of sinking franchises I guess.
The AFC East is becoming littered with them as they shudder at the thought of a renewed run of dominance by the Pats. This is truly a great time to be a Pats fan; gotta enjoy it while it's here.
