I hope you understand that the only person that got Drew Brees in the Pro Bowl was Drew Brees.

Drew Brees himself gives a lot of credit to Cameron. You don't know what you're talking about. Let that sink in.

So... Is Krag's getting the boot?

Rumored to be going into an admin job.

I doubt somebody with his resume' would agree to come here and be a puppet. I believe he will have control over the offense the way Chavis has control of the defense.

this. it is a great hire. all we need is some better development of our QBs and better situational playcalling with more variety, which CC will give us

Has Cameron ever coached CFB before?

Yeah a bunch

I smell a lot of fear

this. anyone who thinks this isn't an upgrade over Kragthorpe and stud is an idiot. he won't have a Gus Malzahn-like impact on the offense, but w should improve significantly

Career started at Michigan. Him and Les go way back.

Was HC at Indiana when Antwaan Randle El was their QB.

Cameron spent the first ten years of his career at the University of Michigan, where he learned from long-time Wolverine coach Bo Schembechler. After two years as a graduate assistant, he became Michigan's youngest assistant and was responsible for tutoring quarterbacks and receivers (WRs 1986-1989, WRs/QBs 1990-1993). He coached many future NFL players, including Jim Harbaugh, Elvis Grbac, Todd Collins, Amani Toomer, Derrick Alexander and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard.[1] Cameron served as an assistant at Michigan alongside future head coaches Lloyd Carr, Gary Moeller, Les Miles, and Mike DeBord. His fellow graduate assistant was Mike Trgovac, who is currently the defensive line coach of the Green Bay Packers, after serving six years as the defensive coordinator of the Carolina Panthers.

Cameron returned to his alma mater to serve as the head coach for the Indiana University Hoosiers in 1997. In five seasons he complied a record of 18-37. Cameron brought an explosive offense to school with highly effective offensive players such as Antwaan Randle El. Indiana averaged 23.6 points per game under Cameron's guidance. In fact, Randle El became the first player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 40 career touchdowns and score 40 career rushing touchdowns. He finished his college career as fifth on the all-time NCAA total yardage list, and became the first player in college football history to record 2,500 total yards for each of four consecutive years.[3]

Although Cameron's Indiana teams won less than one-third of their games, Indiana was recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for its exemplary football graduation rates in each of Cameron's final four seasons. Nevertheless he was fired after the 2001 season. [4]

so middle of the pack in the NFL?

---

#16 would be middle of the pack, #10 would be a tier above that

I dont see anything bad about that, especially the productive QBs he coached. LOL @ anyone thinking this anything but a huge step up from our OC who had our offenses in the bottom third of CFB the last 2 years.

Yeah, we hired a guy who had average/above average NFL offenses, MASSIVE improvement.
