Rex Ryan hired Sparano, a former rival with the Dolphins, because of their like-minded beliefs. Philosophically, Sparano is a run-oriented coach who has no problem with a ball-control approach, catering to a strong defense.

We never had the OL or TEs to implement Sparanos stadegies. A QB that can't make a screen pass didn't help either. Coaches have a plan but player need to be capable of execution. It aint all on the coach.
