The Miami Dolphins have fired coach Cam Cameron after his only season produced only one win. Cameron was fired Thursday by new Dolphins' boss Bill Parcells, which means the reeling franchise will have its fifth head coach in five seasons in 2008.

Rex Ryan interviewing per “a league source”.
And M Martz to SF as OC.
“I love the revisionist history with Parcells’ drafts. Most have them have stunk.”
His drafts with the Jets were horrible!
he did a lot better putting the Cowboys together, with help from the guys he’s bringing with him to Little Havana.
Man, that didn’t take long. Oh well. Here’s to a fresh start.
They actually did okay in NY. MeShawn was a great pick up for them and they had a good core of players for a few years. That was certainly a team that went from bad to good in a few years.
Fatty is good at turning around franchises. He gets too much credit though. His staff in NE and NY were both very, very good. Dallas had some good guys as well. Still, having a good staff says something about a coach as well.
Bill is one of the ESPN guys so yes, they will give him props.
Hiring Fatty is something you have to do with your eyes wide open. He rebuilt the Pats into a SB appearance in 4 years, he turned the Jets around in two years and the Cowboys improved a great deal under him as well. However, he also gets a lot of credit that his assistants deserve. Those Giant defenses were Belichick’s. Same in 1996-1999 with NE/NY.
Cameron was supposed to be the fresh start.
The ENTIRE coaching staff was canned. Are you kidding me? This is pure cronyism. Say what you want about Cameron, but we had some high-quality assistant coaches: Houck, Robiskie, Shea, Jackson.
I wanted Keith Armstrong to get fired, but not like THIS.
Time for another building-from-scratch season in 2008. Nevermind that 2007 was supposed to be just that...
Yep, he's bringing the same guy to Miami that recommended that the Cowboys draft Bobby Carpenter.
Aaah, yes to a certain extent. Guess I was thinking more along the lines of clearing house and drafting young speed. The Dolphins were relying on the likes Williams and a bunch of free agents/rejects. Not to mention 5 coaches in 5 years. At least Johnson knew he would have some time to work his plan. But I get your point.
You will be thankful Cameron was gone in 2 years if you are a Phins fan.
I only think Wade is gone if Jerry thinks he can get Jeff Fisher.
Pop Quiz: Can anyone guess the significance of the numbers 3-12-1?
Rich Kotite’s record as the Jets coach?
Parcells’ record in his first year as an NFL head coach.
Actually Cameron could have done worse! LOL Miami has first draft pick?? Can they sign on Teabow? So, He’s a Sophmore. Does that matter? He WANTS to play for Miami.
Pop Warner may have someone available.
I seriously doubt anyone can live up to the big fat-assed Tuna’s expectations so he’ll end up coaching the team for a couple of years and **retire** again, a few million richer.
I hope the Dolphins never win a game under that blowhard/egomaniac.
