Dolphins fire Cam Cameron after lack of good results

The Dolphins have gone through 5 coaching changes in the last 5 years, the last dismissal came with the departure of Cam Cameron after a season that saw only one victory for Miami who ended 1-15; he became the only coach to get fired on 37 years.

The decision to set him apart from the team came in the hands of Bill Parcells, who is the executive vice president of football operations for the Dolphins since December 27, so after a few talks with general manager Jeff Ireland, the choice was made.

"We want strong character around here, the vision of the team will be discipline, passionate players, highly competitive. And we'll be a big team." Ireland said.

A potential replacement can be Tony Sparano, current offensive line coach for the Cowboys, a man that Parcells knows well, and this is exactly what he’s looking for, people that he can trust and have had experience with.

Most of Cameron’s staff were also fired, just assistant special teams coach Steve Hoffman and linebackers coach George Edwards kept their position.

Dolphins’s executive team does not want to hold the decision for too long as when they chose Cameron, they took 2 weeks to decide between him and 12 other candidates, so quick choices might lead to better results.

The Dolphins are trying to rebuilt their team to see if they can be part of next years playoffs as they have missed them for 6 consecutive seasons, a franchise record
