DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – Tony Sparano has accepted a two-year contract extension with the Miami Dolphins through 2013, ending a week of uncertainty about the team’s coaching position.
Owner Stephen Ross announced the deal Saturday during an extraordinary 35-minute news conference to explain a bizarre week for the Dolphins.
Ross said he made mistakes in the way he dealt with the situation. He flew cross-country to court Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, who subsequently became the San Francisco 49ers’ coach. Ross said he never made a job offer to Harbaugh.
General manager Jeff Ireland agreed that the matter could have been handled better. Sparano said he endured a difficult week but was glad to receive an extension and ready to move on.
