Well that didn’t take Bill Parcells long. Thursday morning Parcells fired Miami Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron after only one season, albeit a 1-15 season, on the job.
Cameron was hired over 12 other candidates 11 months ago in an exhaustive search for the new Dolphins coach to lead them into the future. Instead of taking the team to the next level the Dolphins actually dropped off from 2006 when they were 6-10 under Nick Saban who ran away to Alabama and the college game after just two seasons in South Florida.
Now the Dolphins are looking for their 5th head coach in the last five seasons a string that started in 2004 when Dave Wannstedt left after 9 games and was replaced on an interim basis by Jim Bates. 2005 brought Saban, who was replaced by the former San Diego Charger offensive coordinator Cameron last February.
Cameron, who became the first Dolphins coach to be fired in 37 years since George Wilson in 1970, was a head coach once prior to Miami when he led Indiana University for five seasons before being let go after an 18-37 record.
It is now rumored that Parcells and new GM Jeff Ireland may turn back to Dallas for their new coach as the ealy front runner is Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano.
