We all knew this was coming, but Chris Mortensen reported that tomorrow, Randy Mueller will get the ax. I've previously said that I like the decisiveness of this move. I don't want a lame duck GM in the April draft. I don't care if the guy is "auditioning" for another front office position. I don't want some guy who will be gone in the morning determining the future of this football team.
Honestly, I don't know who is worth bringing it to take the role of GM anymore. We hear stuff about the former Green Bay GM or the Dallas GM, but thats all speculation for now. My pipe dream of course would be Scott Pioli, but we would probably have to forfeit both our games versus the Patriots next year in exchange to pry him away.
Aside from Mueller, Parcells is expected to clean house, including Cam Cameron and the coaching staff. Personally I have no preference as to whether or not Cam deserves to stay. Good coaches have had bad years, but he hasn't proven a thing to me. If he's gone, so be it. Just make sure you don't screw up again. This team hasn't had a competent coach in ages and it's about time we bring in a guy who can take this team to a Super Bowl. It'll be a long road, that's for sure.

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.
