Who were the other candidates for the job and where are they now?

I think Cam Cameron was one. After his 1-15 stint with the Dolphins, he's now OC with the Ravens.

Another was Ron Rivera, the LB coach in San Diego. Along with the aforementioned Cam Cameron (1-15 in Miami), the Ravens' OC.


Contrary to popular belief, Bill Parcells, Bill Cowher, and Marty Schottenheimer were not on the list.

I seem to remember Whisenhunt being a fringe candidate, though he never interviewed. He may have never really been considered.

Of the possible choices, he's the one who I wanted at the time.
