Former Miami head coach Cam Cameron may not be out of work for long.

Cameron, fired as the coach of the Dolphins on Thursday, will be in demand as an offensive coordinator for at least two teams -- the St. Louis Rams and the San Francisco ***** -- team and league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

San Francisco has an interview scheduled Monday with former St. Louis head coach Mike Martz, who was recently let go as the offensive coordinator in Detroit. Cameron, sources said, is also on the *****' mind.

St. Louis is seriously focused on Cameron after head coach Scott Linehan fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson, sources said. The team has not announced Olson's dismissal, nor the firing of offensive line coach Paul Boudreau.

And one more team could get into the Cameron sweepstakes: Dallas would need an offensive coordinator if Jason Garrett, who has interviewed in Baltimore and Atlanta, gets a head coaching job.

Both Olson and Boudreau, highly-respected assistants, were informed of their terminations prior to the weekend, sources told Mortensen.

He certainly didn't forget the run game, at least before the season ending injury to Ronnie Brown. The pass game was a liability the whole year for them because of Mr. Concussion and then the Lemon/Beck show. When you have crap for QB's you have crap for wins.

We have a much more talented team than the Phins and a much more talented offense than the Whiners, so I'd have to imagine that he'd place us above them in his mind.

Money will play a role too.

Linehan would have to be hands off to make it work with Cameron, IMO.

I didn't say that, the sources who talked to Mortensen said it. Don't pull me into it, quote the whole sentence.

Yep, if Dallas is in the mix we wouldn't have much of a shot in the Cameron sweepstakes.

Well, quite obviously by those who Mort hangs around with. Who would those people be? Hmmmmmmm.

Boudeau is a very respected O-line coach around the league, and Olson was thought of as an up and comer I believe. He still should be in my opinion. He was not the problem.

*Mooselini* · #11 (**permalink**) -06-01-2008

We need to step this up. We need this to happen for us.

*Varg6* · #12 (**permalink**) -06-01-2008

Yeah, we gotta give him a deal he can't refuse and fast before he gets offered by others like Dallas.

A guy who had his playcalling responbilities pulled away by Scott Linehan??? As sad as it sounds, our offense was actually better with Lineclown calling the plays...
