Miami Dolphins
On January 3, 2007, Saban announced that he had accepted a contract for eight years and a guaranteed $32 million to coach at the University of Alabama. Saban left despite making several false public statements in the preceding weeks assuring fans and owner Wayne Huizenga that he would be staying on as coach of the Dolphins. Cam Cameron, previously the offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers, was then introduced as the new head coach of the Dolphins.
For the 2007 season, the NFL scheduled the Miami Dolphins‘ home game against the New York Giants on October 28 to be played in London’s Wembley Stadium; this was the NFL’s first regular-season game to be played outside of North America. The Giants defeated the Dolphins, 13-10. On December 16, the Dolphins ended a 16 game losing streak and beat the Baltimore Ravens at home 22-16 in overtime on a 64 yard touchdown from Cleo Lemon to Greg Camarillo. Despite the win over the Ravens, the team would lose its next two games to finish 1-15, which tied the NFL record for most losses in a season with 15, a record shared by 7 other teams, according to Steve Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau.
Late in the 2007 season, former two time Super Bowl winning coach Bill Parcells was named head of the Dolphins football operations. Shortly after the season finale, Parcells fired GM Randy Mueller and on January 3, 2008, head coach Cam Cameron was fired along with almost all of his staff.
