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.

Bill Parcells’ record in his first year as head coach.
Yeah, he didn’t extend the same courtesy to Cameron as was extended to him. Parcells’ career was made because Howard Schnellenberger didn’t want to coach the Giants.
Cameron got screwed big-time in all this, and I wouldn’t blame him if he became OC at Buffalo and killed the Dolphins twice a year.
The “fifth head coach in five seasons” stat is somewhat false, as it includes interim coach Jim Bates, who took over for Wannstedt when that asshole quit after being informed his contract would not be renewed after the 2004 season.
In reality, the Dolphins have had two head coaches in the last three years, which is just as bad as “five in five years,” but at least it’s accurate respective to the facts.
No, I won’t be thankful. The reset button was just hit AGAIN, except this time the guy who hit it wants to bring in people he knows rather than the best people for the job.
Cameron was the solution to the Dolphins’ biggest problem since 1999: the quarterback position. So much for that!
I’m really wishing Huizenga didn’t go for the big name this time. Tom Heckert, Jr. would’ve been a Godsend to the Dolphins.
Here's stuff on McDaniels who clearly has good sense as shown here:
Despite interest from 2 teams, Pats' McDaniels won't interview for coaching jobs
Probably should be a Free Agency thread come 3-2 too. But maybe that's too ambitious.
Coaching news from DMN—”Falcons owner Arthur Blank is coming into town to interview assistant head coach Tony Sparano and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and, as Todd reports, that’s just the start of it. The Ravens are interested in both, and the Dolphins have requested to speak with Sparano.”
