    I totally agree! If you think Cam had no clue, just look at what Dumbo Tice did to the Vikings!

    Don't shoot the messenger. Mort said he may be a candidate, so I wrote the names that popped out at me. Not saying I like the idea, just passing the info.

    Well away from here
    Well look at the bright side. if we did hire Mike Tice then we would have just about finished the barrell of completely f'in incompetent coaches. Thena maybe we could start looking in the barrell of 'good' coaching candidates.

    Cam's clock management was terrible. Spiking the ball on first down with 1:11 left in the half only to go 4 and out????? Give me a break. He had his share of mistakes and bad decisions on this team just as much as the players.

    I am betting that fans will be calling for his head after the second loss. The first loss will only warrent the criticism of how stupid he is and the assertion that ANY fan knows more than him.

    It is in this case, since this fanbase is illogical and inconsistent in its expectations and knowledge of running a successful product on the field. We all know the majority is only satisfied by Win/Loss results and not what goes into securing a consistent W or what caused a given L.

    Dont forget about calling a timeout after an incomplete pass! He made mistakes that high school kids know better not to make

    Great, let's get another offensive coach in here to see if HE can outscore our ineffective defense.

    That may be true, but he got an extension for next year ealier this year so that "he could see this through".

    Why does everyone want Garrett? The only thing he has done is taken over an offense that was already pretty good.

    Reminds me of the time when I asked why everyone wants Saban.

    i dont think it was just going 1-15 for Cam... its the tuna's show now and he had his new GM and they want to pick someone they are comfortable with... i think its just them wanting their own guy and starting fresh... Cam was a rookie HC who made some rookie HC mistakes, im sure he'll be a head coach again one day and im sure he will do fine...

    heres to hoping we at least try to resign Houck...

    I was hoping that Parcells and Ireland would interview God, but he has no HC experience. Plus, I doubt he would be very dependable having to be at games on Sunday.

    the two coaches retained are:

    assistant special teams coach Steve Hoffman
    linebackers coach George Edwards.


    But the new coach could resign others that had contracts expire.

    Here we go again.

    Well It is done. Now we have a new offensive system playbook, new blocking systems, new defence, new special teams, Great. Now I'm not saying we had good systems in place not at all. We sucked bad. But it's a new system that needs to installed more learning curve. On the bright side maybe learning more hthan one system may give them a more well rounded tecnique. Is that wishfull thinking? Probably, well hopefully things will change for the better.

    So the merry go round continues. A new staff and new system. And another year for the team to struggle while it adjusts. I hope Parcells knows what he's doing.

    I disagree with this move. Cam deserved a chance to finish the rebuild he started.

    I am a Dolphins fan first, so I hope everything turns out great for my Fins. I have been pretty suspicious of bringing in Parcel’s and have been a supporter of letting Cam have another year to turn this around. Now all that is ancient history, so it’s time to get onboard the Tuna Express and ride along wherever this takes us. I hope we are Super Bowl bound at the end of this ride.
    What an offseason this will be- more action than we saw through the season!

    That is sports. Too many people who need instant evaluation. Like grading the draft the day after it is finished, rather than looking back at the draft from 4 years ago and grading that one.

    99% of the time I'm preaching patience with fans like you.
    But Cam getting fired, and Dolphin fans turning on him is not the pure result of impatience. Yes the impatient fans agree with firing him, and many of them made up their mind in pre-season. But, the rest of us who thought Cam should go, did so because of the 200th bad thing that happened, not the first. And Parcells agrees.

    I'm going to pray Rex Ryan is brought in to lead this defense. Maybe Ron Rivera? Off season is usually boring until a few weeks from now. And I got to say I love the direction this team is going.

    Everyone keeps saying how if cam only went 1-15 the next head coach is going to follow. Half the reason we were 1-15 was because of the poor coaching. Imagine if Billick went for it with 12 seconds to go and they pounded that ball in, praise the lord they didn't but if they did this team would've most likely been sold and all this great stuff would be happening to the Falcons.

    The head coach wont be our savior, Bill Parcells IS OUR SAVIOR.

    ahhh, fwiw - I think some team out there is going to be lucky and get a very good offensive coordinator in Cameron. I know he had some rough spots along the way this year, not unlike most if not all rookie head coaches, but I think the problem with this team/organization started well before Cam came on board. The result of this season was more a lack of talent vs some questionable squib kicks and periodic poor clock management.

    At some point we have to pick a starting point to build from and maintain some stability - I'm guessing and hoping that Parcell and his appointees are that group. Cameron won’t be out of work for long….

    Go Fins!

    News regarding Houck from Armando's blog: http://dolphinsindepth.blogspot.com/2008/01/cam-cameron-fired-by-miami-dolphins.html

    Let's hope he is not interviewing with anyone else because he will come back to us...
