Mort says Cam Cameron favorite in Miami (1 Viewer)

[mchaps55]

Mort was on 790 am in Miami, He just said Cameron is Huizenga's favored candidate right now. He said Wayne also likes Tomlin and Schottenheimer but what it comes down to is he would be hiring a coach a year or two before he was ready to be a head coach he said it is possible though, he said Cowher was hired too young as well as an example.He also advised waiting it out to see what happens with the Chargers because Marty Schottenheimer could likely become available to the Phins if they don't win the Super Bowl.Also said Pete Carroll is a dead issue.

No link about it and I know there is some info in the Martz thread but thats on tomlin.

If those are the guys that their focusing on, then expect them to roll the dice and wait on the playoff coaches to be available before making a decision.

Good for Cam. I went to high school with him (he's two years younger than me).

He knows his stuff.

i think we could do a lot worse than getting Cam here in Miami. i would welcome the man after the Saban debacle.

ah not the smartest comment, Indiana is a far cry from Boise state. He had horrible players their and they are very close to a divsion II squad in a tough conference. He has done a great job in the nfl and I expect the same thing in Miami.

I think Id sooner trust a report from John Czarnecki than Mort nowadays.

Hes about lost any credibility he once had.

you might be rightDolphins could hire coach by Wednesday Click-2-ListenBy Greg A. BedardPalm Beach Post Staff Writer Friday, January 12, 2007The Dolphins left owner Wayne Huizenga's jet on the runway for a couple of days while they studied their options, but now are prepared to speed up their methodical search for a head coach. They would like to name Nick Saban's replacement within the week, two sources said Friday.Finalists will be contacted this weekend ó likely today ó to set up interviews for early next week. The Dolphins, who have criss-crossed the country to interview candidates, hope to name a coach as early as Wednesday and no later than Friday in advance of the conference championship games Jan. 21.Your Dolphins source Latest news, poll 2006 recap, photosBlog: Get inside infoYour say: Dol-Fan forumWeekly e-mail updatesSuper Bowl previewNFL news, full coverage More in Sports Latest news, photos RSS feedsMiami Dolphins, NFLFlorida Marlins, MLBMiami Heat, NBAFlorida Panthers, NHLColleges | Gators | HurricanesOwls | Seminoles | Local schoolsGolf | CoursesHigh schools | YouthRecreation, outdoorsTennis | More sportsWeekly e-mail updates After the title games, many NFL executives spend the week in Mobile, Ala., site of the Senior Bowl, to begin draft preparations. That week also would be ideal for the Dolphins to interview assistant coaches.The timeframe could hurt the chances of San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, whose teams are favored to win in this weekend's divisional playoffs. The Dolphins could not conduct follow-up interviews with them while their teams are alive.Of the other 10 candidates the Dolphins have interviewed, sources said the most likely to be brought back for further talks are Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz, former Atlanta Falcons coach Jim Mora, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin, Dolphins defensive coordinator Dom Capers and Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey.The Dolphins also will be monitoring this weekend's games to see if other potential candidates become available, including Indianapolis Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell. The former Wake Forest head coach has been on the Dolphins' radar because of his influence on the Colts' offense.Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer, 63, reportedly could be out of a job if San Diego is upset Sunday by the New England Patriots.While Capers remains a candidate, the Dolphins also are making preparations to keep him as defensive coordinator if they hire a different head coach.The Dolphins were so impressed by Capers this season ó his defense was fourth in the league ó that club officials have talked about making him the highest-paid coordinator in the league in order to keep him, two sources said.Washington Redskins coordinators Gregg Williams (defense) and Al Saunders (offense) are believed to be the league's highest-paid coordinators at $2.6 million and $2 million per year, respectively. The median pay for NFL head coaches, according to a Forbes report, was $2.9 million this season.Capers' contract with the Dolphins is expected to expire Feb. 1. According to Larry Kennan, the executive director of the NFL Coaches' Association, teams have a 14-day window of exclusivity after the regular season to negotiate new deals with coaches who have expiring contracts. That means other teams could talk to Capers starting Monday.Despite expected interest from the New York Giants, sources said Capers is more likely to stay in Miami under another coach than join Tom Coughlin's staff. The reason is stability ó Coughlin received a contract extension through 2008 but likely wouldn't survive another bad season.Noteworthy: Assistant defensive line coach Bo Davis joined Saban's staff at Alabama. Earlier, Dolphins safeties coach Kirby Smart left Miami to be Saban's coach for the secondary.

Having lived and worked in the shadow of the IU football stadium during the entire reign of CC, I would say that I'm quite concerned about the possibility of him becoming the Miami coach (I'm also a lifelong Phins fan).Based on what I saw myself, and what I heard from insiders while he was here at IU, he was a trainwreck of a manager /administrator. All that, despite being given every hometown break by the media and the fans (he played both football and basketball for the Hoosiers).And on the field, the wreckage showed. In spite of Randle-El (an NCAA record setting running qb), the teams had the typical poor results that IU has been used to for quite some time. CC's offensive genius in playcalling during the games was just on either side of pathetic. Being a Miami homer, I truly hope CC has progressed from the first time he was a head coach. But I'm not holding my breath.
