JetNation Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The New York Jets have added Tony Sparano Jr. as an offensive assistant and named Eric Smith as a seasonal intern. The announcement was just made by Eric Allen on Twitter. The Jets have promoted Tony Sparano Jr. to Offensive Assistant + hired former S Eric Smith as a Seasonal Intern. pic.twitter.com/LfWDSew6Ff — Eric Allen (@eallenjets) February 10, 2014 Sparano Jr. was brought in by his father as a coaching intern, but he stayed with the organization after his Dad was fired. Here is the story from last year when Sparano Jr. was originally retained. When Rex Ryan fired Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator in January, he knew he would have to have an uncomfortable conversation — not with Sparano, but with his son, Tony Sparano Jr. Sparano Jr. had served under his father with the 2012 Jets as a coaching intern. Now, Ryan was firing Sparano Sr., but he wanted Sparano Jr. to stay with the Jets. “I’m not going to lie, there was some awkwardness,” Ryan said recently, “but I knew I wanted to keep him.” The conversation was a success, and Sparano Jr. stayed with the Jets despite his father’s dismissal. The 26-year-old is one of the few reminders around the 2013 Jets of his father’s one year as the team’s offensive coordinator. Here is a thread on from the JetNation forums.

Bleedin Green Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Oh for ****'s sake. This better be some sort of twisted early April Fools joke. The junior version of the only OC worse than Schitty to go along with the most uncoordinated living creature to ever step foot onto a football field. Oh joy.

Maxman Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 He was already with the team as a coaching intern. The offensive assistant category really shouldn't make or break the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Actually it wouldn't surprise me if Smith is good in this role. Clearly he didn't stick around because of Polamalu-level talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't great physically, but this is a sensible transition for him. I wish him the best. As for Sparano Jr., good for him. Gotta work your way up.

77DRAFT Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Dumbo Jr. is still with the Jets ? Rex likes him ? Who cares ? Dumbo carries footballs and moves Rex's truck when his food delivery convoy arrives. Rex wants to win a championship with a terrible OC, so he can say it was defensive team. Dumbo Jr, is the perfect OC for Rex, good thing Geno can run both for long yardage and goal line, with the twin Dumbos, he will need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Take a step back. These are assistant and intern positions... you sound like a complete tit acting as if the fate of this organization hangs in the balance now. Yeah, that was a little dramatic. Btw Smith was a good athlete by the combine/pro day stuff, he just wasn't excessively good at football. We've heard for a long time that hes smart and knew his role even if he was mediocre at best executing it. How often do good players make good coaches anyway? I'm actually liking this little influx of young coaching talent lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are trying way too hard to flip this around to an 'ape issue'. I'm always up for a good volley of last word, whatever you are trying to "prove" is pretty much common knowledge. Just admit you over-reacted and now you are being salty about it, geez... you're acting as if my initial reply to you was malicious, all I did was say something positive about the situation. Calm the eff down already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't malicious, never said it was, but it still was you making a bigger fuss over something that was meant as nothing more than me taking an opportunity to sh*t on Eric Smith, which is hardly new. Hate to break it to you, everything from the claims of "acting as if the fate of this organization hangs in the balance" to "acting as if my initial reply to you was malicious" is really only in your own head. You just took some random bullsh*t post from me far too seriously. At this point I promise you that the rest of this board thinks we both look like horses ass that we're still actually carrying on with this nonsense, no matter how righteous you think you are.
