Parcells Ready to Make His Impact

Only a day into Bill Parcells' stay here in Miami and rumors are spreading about the Dolphins and the future of this team. Sources are saying both Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller are on the way out, as soon as Monday. Potential replacements include Tony Sparano and Romeo Crennel, both former Parcells' proteges.

It looks like Bill wants his own guys in there and does not feel comfortable with any of the people already in place in Davie. Not sure I blame him after this disaster of a season. It's best to get rid of everyone asap and give the new people the full 4-5 months to scout the hell out of the college ranks for players. I've always hated the idea of a lame-duck GM staying through the draft knowing full well he will get the boot as soon as it's over.

In addition the front office moves, Parcells has been linked to a couple of players. During his press conference, he said he doesn't want bad character guys on this team. Granted, this is a similar statement to what Cam Cameron made when he came in, but this might spell the end for Ricky Williams and Joey Porter. I'm not sure cutting either would be a great idea. This team needs talent and sadly those are two of our ten best players.

Finally, a potential FA pickup has been crossed off our list, as the Cowboys extended WR Patrick Clayton's contract. I'm not too sure Parcells would have gone after him anyway. He is familiar with the guy and knows Crayton is a 3rd receiver at best. Throwing 14 million dollars at him would have been a bad way to start off his stay as a Dolphin.

Do we give Cam Cam the benefit of the doubt or not?
