Cam Cameron, head coach of the Miami Dolphins, was fired on Wednesday after winning only one game in his first season with the team. Cameron was hired last offseason to replace Nick Saban, who left the Dolphins to coach the University of Alabama. Cameron was the offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers for five years before he got the head coaching job with the Dolphins. Cameron was a part of the 14-2 season the Chargers had last season when they lost to the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs. Many thought that this was a good hire because of what he has done with the Chargers high powered offense. But it did not work out well. Cameron lost his first 13 games before finally winning one in overtime against the Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins also went through injuries, losing running backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. They also lost Trent Green for the season when he suffered a concussion against the Houston Texans. Linebacker Zach Thomas was also lost for the rest of the season. Bill Parcells, who was hired by the Dolphins a couple of weeks ago to run operations, fired general manager Randy Mueller and hired Jeff Ireland to become the new general manager. Ireland worked with Parcells while with the Dallas Cowboys. Will Ireland hire a good head coach? Will Parcells eventually become the head coach? What kind of success will Parcells have with the Dolphins?
