08:07 AM ET 01.05 | Tony Sparano's fate may rest on the decision of a certain Stanford head coach. According to sources, the Dolphins have put a decision on the coaching staff in a holding pattern while the team's executives conduct exploratory talks with Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh. While no offer has been made, the Dolphins may have to move quickly, given the stiff competition for Harbaugh's services. The San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos also have head coach openings and are in play. Harbaugh's camp is reportedly demanding a salary north of $6 million a season.

Why not pay him that? They pay the first round draft picks more than that. Ask Ryan Leaf and Jecarcus Russell.

Denver is now paying two former head coaches, so they're out of the race before it even begins.
