DAVIE – The Dolphins offered Cam Cameron their head coaching position Friday afternoon, according to a report on ESPN's Web site.

However, a source said Cameron has not officially accepted the offer to replace the departed Nick Saban and the hiring "is not a done deal."

Cameron, 45, has served as San Diego's offensive coordinator the past five seasons. He was reportedly chosen ahead of a 13-man field that also included finalists Jim Mora, Chan Gailey and Dom Capers.

I don't see any reason why he would turn them down. Apparently his record at Indiana University was abysmal.

This is the guy I have wanted all along. He has always had good offenses throughout his years and was responsible for Gus Frerotte's one pro bowl season (as his QB coach.) He has done a marvelous job in San Diego developing Antonio Gates, incorporating players like Michael Turner and Vincent Jackson, and getting the ball distrubuted throughout their offense.

Nevermind his Indiana record, how could anyone succeed at that school in football? I'm thrilled we got this guy to run the offense, he should go great with Capers great defensive mind. Good day for Dolphins' fans IMO.

Well he's probably the best option out of the remaining candidates. Despite having Ron Mexico as his QB, Jim Mora Jr. is a hothead who refused to make adjustments late in the game for whatever reason. Gailey is washed up and couldn't win with Aikman, Smith, and Irvin.

I would LOVE for Miami to get this guy - break up the Chargers a bit while the phins O comes to prominence (without a QB), their D continues to get OLD.

Me too. This is the guy who was Marty was supposedly delegating playcalling authority to, so they wouldn't be so "Martyball-ish". He is the one who gave LT the ball 9 times in the second half. That's real smart - you have the best RB in the NFL and you are trying to protect a lead so you let the rookie (in terms of actual starts) quarterback throw the ball instead of giving it to LT.

I love this move. It weakens the Chargers and the Fins at the same time!

Oh give me a brake, the Pats had no place winning a game where the ball bounced their way at least five times.

Not this sh*t again. Go cry your heart out with the Chargers fans.

Damn, I was rooting pretty hard for Chan Gailey to get the job. Nothing like a horrible coach in the division! I yearn for the days of Wade Phillips, Herm Edwards, and Dave Wannstedt.

Cameron has accepted the challenge.

Holy crap, that was downright unfair! Nice to see another team get raided in the coaching ranks for a change.

Dolphins Hire Cam Cameron

Cameron is awful as a head coach. I watched his act up close in the big Ten. He is an awful awful choice as a head guy.

Personally, I would have looked at Kirk Ferentz before Cameron.

Cam Cameron announced as Dolphins new Head Coach

Got to wonder how much of Marty's success in SD was due to Cameron. Should be an interesting development for our rivals in Miami. But they still don't have a real QB.

Oops didnt see the other thread. how do i delete this one.

Does anyone know who the Dolphins hired as their HC?

The same Cam Cameron who barely used this years best RB in the 2nd half....good....real good.

No, but who wants to talk about the draft?

 

[VJCPatriot]

Well Phins have a coach now but still no QB. We'll see how this works out next season. Plus Chargers got weakened. So good all around stuff.

He's got his QB of the future already in Miami... Cleo Lemon.

Actually Lemon was in SD before he was traded to Miami last season so he's familiar with Cameron's offense.
