OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- Cam Cameron, coming off a 1-15 season as head
coach of the Dolphins, was hired Wednesday as offensive coordinator of
the Baltimore Ravens.

Cameron, 46, was fired by Miami earlier this month. His only victory
came against the Ravens. He's the first assistant hired by new Ravens
coach John Harbaugh.

Cameron was the San Diego Chargers' offensive coordinator for five
seasons before his one-year stint in Miami. In 2006, the Chargers led
the NFL in scoring with 492 points.

The Dolphins finished near the bottom of the league in yards and points
last season, and Cameron was fired Jan. 3 by new Dolphins executives
Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland.

The Ravens went through several offensive coordinators under former
coach Brian Billick, who was fired Dec. 31, but the team never
established a consistently high-powered attack in Billick's nine-year
tenure.

Cameron has connections to Harbaugh, who worked as a defensive backs and
special teams coach when Cameron was the head coach at Indiana in 1997.

Baltimore planned to introduce Cameron during a conference call later
Wednesday.
