Dolphins Have a New Head Coach

At 7pm tonight, the Miami Dolphins will announce that they have signed former San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron to be their head coach.

Cameron has been the Chargers offensive coordinator for the last 5 years, and his name was mentioned as a possible replacement if San Diego decided to fire Marty Schottenheimer after another early exit in the playoffs. Schottenheimer was retained, so Cameron has bolted.

Cameron had assumed play-calling duties this season for the Chargers, whose offense is sending 5 players to Honolulu for the Pro Bowl next month. The bad news for San Diego may be that "Martyball" will come back in full force in '07.

Samardzija Chooses Baseball

Former Golden Domer Jeff Samardzija has chosen to sign a 5-year, $10M deal with the Chicago Cubs, which essentially removes him from 32 NFL draft boards.

Samardzija had been projected to be chosen in the 1st round in April's NFL draft.
