Dolphin's coaching job down to two candidates

The vacant Miami Dolphins coaching job is supposedly down to two candidates, Chargers O.C. Cam Cameron and Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey. Cameron was expected to continue his second interview today and could land the job if he gives a strong interview.

Cameron led the NFL's top-scoring offense in 2006 and is one of the top assistants around. Some might argue that his job was easy considering he had LaDanian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Phillip Rivers and various members of The Justice League. But running an offense is not that easy. Miami has some good skilled players themselves in Ronnie Brown, Chris Chambers, Marty Booker, Randy McMichael and hopefully Daunte Culpepper, but Mike Mularkey still managed to suck on levels that I couldn't imagine.

The defense on the other hand is set with Dom Capers calling the shots there. Capers got a 3-year extension a couple of days ago, meaning that Jason Taylor and friends don't need to learn a new scheme. Taylor flourished under Capers and won the Defensive Player of the Year after doing all sorts of nasty things with opposing offenses.

Miami's main problem last season was scoring points, and Cameron should improve that unit if he takes over. Culpepper's health and the play of the offensive line are still big areas of concern, but the offense should be able to score more than it did last season. Especially if Ricky Williams also returns to the mix.

But I'm getting to far ahead of myself here. Chan Gailey is rumored by some to be the favorite for the job and I wouldn't be surprised if Gailey becomes the head man. Either way, I think that both of these guys could turn things around which is the most important thing right now.

EDIT : Dom Capers has been offered a 3-year contract extension but he hasn't signed it yet.
