As a multi-sport athlete Cameron was an All-American quarterback at Terre Haunt South Vigo High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. He went on to play football and basketball at Indiana University, where he was coached by Lee Corso and Sam Wyche in football, and Bob Knight in basketball. He graduated from Indiana with a degree in business in 1983, but knew the field he was going to pursue: sports. The very next season Cameron, who was born Malcolm G. Cameron on Feb. 6, 1961, joined the University of Michigan as a graduate assistant, and eventually worked his way up to an offensive assistant coach for Michigan, where he worked till 1993. He served the first six of those seasons with the Wolverines under the late Bo Schembechler. In addition to coaching wide receivers, he coached the quarterbacks from 1990-93, including 1991 when Wolverines wide receiver Desmond Howard won the Heisman Trophy. During his 10 seasons as an assistant at Michigan the program won six Big Ten titles and played in 10 bowl games. In addition to Howard, Cameron was the position coach for such future NFL players as quarterbacks Elvis Grbac and Todd Collins as well as wide receivers Derrick Alexander and Amani Toomer, among others. Cameron's first NFL coaching stop came as the Washington Redskins' quarterbacks coach from 1994-96. While serving on Norv Turner's staff, Cameron oversaw the development of 1994 seventh-round pick Gus Frerotte, who became a Pro Bowler in 1996, and Trent Green, who served as the team's third quarterback in 1995 and 1996 before eventually becoming a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback for Kansas City. In 1997 Cameron returned to his alma mater to serve as the head coach for Indiana University, a position he held through 2001. While he compiled a 18-37 record in his five season he helped quarterback Antwaan Randle El develop into a 2001 All-American. After being fired at Indiana he joined the San Diego Chargers, serving as offensive coordinator from 2002-06, establishing a reputation as one of the most gifted offensive minds in the NFL. In 2006, the Chargers offense amassed a team-record 494 points while paving the way for league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson to break the NFL's single-season touchdown record. Cameron's success in San Diego, and ability to develop quarterbacks like Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers, got him interviewed for four head coaching vacancies before he eventually landed the Dolphins job, signing a four-year deal in January of 2007. While Cameron's gotten off to a rocky start with the Dolphins, partly due to numerous injuries, he remains consistent about his core believes, which surrounds building a team-first concept and filling the locker room with players of character. One such player is rookie quarterback John Beck, the team's second round pick. Cameron promoted Beck to a starting role for the final seven games of the season and his job security will likely be linked to Beck's development. He and his wife, Missy, have four children, sons Tommy, Danny, and Christopher, and daughter Elizabeth and live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. ]]> en-us http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bal-ravens-insider-cam-cameron-ravens-nfl-draft-class-20120430,0,175643.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-04-30 10:00:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bal-poh-ravens-cam-cameron-skin-cancer,0,362575.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-05-01 04:00:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bal-ravens-insider-pittsburgh-native-gino-gradkowski-thrilled-to-be-in-baltimore-20120502,0,148780.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-05-02 09:00:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bal-ravens-announce-three-open-practices-20120504,0,1897138.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-05-04 10:09:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bs-sp-ravens-notes-0429-20120428,0,1272616.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-04-28 18:41:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bs-sp-preston-ravens-0417-20120416,0,7650363.column?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-04-16 16:43:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bal-ravens-draft-preview-wrs-and-tes-20120417,0,6145527.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-04-18 05:00:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bs-sp-ravens-draft-0424-20120423,0,1618666.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-04-23 15:19:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bal-ravens-insider-matt-williamson-ravens-nfl-draft-needs-20120425,0,6096799.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-04-25 12:00:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bal-ravens-insider-ted-ginn-visits-ravens-20120318,0,6998598.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-03-18 11:00:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bs-bz-olympic-bobsled-under-armour-20120325,0,7757511.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-03-25 00:00:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/bs-sp-ravens-bisciotti-qa-0327-20120326,0,2914491.story?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-03-26 19:01:00 http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/sfl-questionsb20120510115533,0,1332344.photo?track=rss-topicgallery 2012-05-04 00:00:00 <img src="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/media/thumbnails/photo/2012-05/69874429-10115536.jpg" alt="10.
