New Dolphins Boss Bill Parcells Fires GM Randy Mueller; Cam Cameron Next?
New Dolphins executive Bill Parcells wasted little time in re-shaping the front office to his liking, firing general manager Randy Mueller Monday morning, less than 18 hours after the end of the regular season. The Miami Herald reports:
Parcells entered Mueller’s office Monday morning and advised him that he had been dismissed. Mueller has since left the Dolphin’s training facility. The rest of the staff — including Mueller’s personnel department — has so far been retained.
It makes sense for Parcells to keep the rest of the personnel department for the time being. These guys have been spending all year assembling information about draft choices and free agents, and it would be foolish for Parcells to ax all of them before at least picking their brains.
Next up is a meeting between Parcells and head coach Cam Cameron, whose first season in Miami may also be his last. The two are expected to meet tomorrow, and although it probably gives Cameron at least a little hope that he wasn’t fired as quickly as Mueller, it’s hard to imagine Parcells keeping him around.
