Bills considered Cam Cameron for head coaching job
by Brian Biggane

Considering the disaster that occurred when Cam Cameron got an opportunity to be head coach in Miami three years ago, it’s difficult to imagine another team considering him for the same job this quickly. But that’s apparently what happened when Buffalo conducted its recent search that ultimately settled on former Dolphins offensive coordinator Chan Gailey.

According to John Murphy, whose position as play-by-play man for the Bills’ radio network gives him credibility as a team insider, Gailey was one of five candidates given serious consideration for the job by recently hired GM Buddy Nix. The others: Gailey, Arizona offensive coordinator Russ Grimm, Minnesota defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and San Diego D-coordinator Ron Rivera.

Murphy also wrote that the Bills had a wish list that included Bill Cowher, Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh. Interesting, Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who turned down a request to interview for the job, wasn’t on either list.

Cam is a really good offensive coach and has the tools to be a good head coach. He'll get another opportunity before we know it. Can't write off first time coaching failures, especially if only given one year.

Says the man that would trade away Ronnie Brown for a 4th round pick. Cam Cameron could not control a team, he couldn't coach a team, he couldn't manage a game, he couldn't make personnel decisions, and he was extremely close to being the first winless coach in a season since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 70's. He has zero tools to be a good head coach.

a 4th round pick? where did you pull that out of. I'm not for trading Ronnie Brown for anything.

I'm just saying I'm not going to bash Cam. He came into a bad situation with Dom Capers and Randy Mueller. Once Trent Green was out he had to decide between Lemon and Beck, ouch.
