I can just see it: when Parcells was hired last thursday, he was handed an Axe & a Hammer… Today he went to work. Start the countdown until the Dolphins are playoff teams. Its not that i like the Fins, but I have alot of respect for Parcells. [http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/dolphins/2007-12-31-mueller-fired\_N.htm](http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/dolphins/2007-12-31-mueller-fired_N.htm) > DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Bill Parcells’ shakeup of the Miami Dolphins began Monday with the firing of general manager Randy Mueller. > > Assistant director of player personnel Mike Baugh and college scouting coordinator Rick Thompson also departed. > > Also at risk of being fired was coach Cam Cameron, who said he would discuss his future with Parcells this week. On Sunday, the Dolphins became only the eighth team to finish 1-15. > > Parcells began work Thursday as executive vice president of football operations. > > Mueller was the Dolphins’ general manager for three seasons but was in charge of personnel decisions only since coach Nick Saban left a year ago. > > Mueller received mixed reviews for his moves in 2007, which included the acquisition of free-agent linebacker [Joey Porter](http://fantasyfootball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NFL&id=653) and the selection of receiver [Ted Ginn Jr.](http://fantasyfootball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NFL&id=4168) and quarterback [John Beck](http://fantasyfootball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NFL&id=4219) in the draft. > Mueller was general manager of the New Orleans Saints in 2000-01. ---

saints have nothing besides colston and brees… even with bush they need to draft some serious talent to have a chance… .and deuce needs to stop being a pussy (JK)… but i always cheer for the saints and i felt bad cuz they were trying they just have no defense and not much else besides drew. ---

i hope he gives cam cameron another shot…when you lose your most talented player to injury for the year and trade your 2nd best to a contender on a roster already devoid of talent, you could have jesus as head coach, with allah and buddha coaching the offense and defense, and you wouldnt win. ---

5-11, maybe 6-10. Too much change is going to happen too fast and they’ll spend a good portion of the season just learning how to play together and play what ever new system they implement. ---

I think coach deserves at least one more year… but for references sakes: > **[Sports News & latest headlines from every league](https://www.aol.com/sports/)** > > Discover the latest breaking news in the U.S. and around the world — politics, weather, entertainment, lifestyle, finance, sports and much more. > Parcells apparently told Huizenga he has heard stories about Cameron spending some of his time monitoring the team’s website to make sure the players are being asked the right questions by club-employed reporters. Cameron also wanted to make sure the players were giving the right answers. > Parcells told Huizenga he doesn’t want a coach that is worried about blogs or website interviews. He wants a tough-minded, hard-driven football man who is more concerned with football than facade. ---

The Dolphins have a decent team, it’s just the fact that the majority of the team was injured all year. If they stay healthy they should field a few more wins. I wouldn’t call them playoff worthy next year by any means, but def 8-8 worthy. ---
