As a lifetime Dolphin fan and 35 year season ticket holder, I don’t recall seeing this kind of detailed personnel biographies on prior Dolphins personnel, front office, and player performance staffs. It also highlights the overhang by several of these people who are responsible for unsuccessful “Strategy” and “College Scouting” and “Player Contracts” over our previous losing seasons in the past 15 years. I’m very happy with the dramatic change in direction with the new GM and Head Coach, while at the same time wondering what the promoted staff’s views of the players were that we drafted or traded under our prior long time GM Chris Grier.

After all is said and done, professional football is a business that requires accountability from top to bottom. I certainly hope there is more accountability with these newly announced staff and leadership changes than we have demonstrated since the good old days of Coach Don Shula and GM Eddie Jones.

Good news that Kyle Smith didn't already get poached.

I don't know a lot of these people but this is where the team really gets built.

Thats good. Should have been a near complete purge of anyone from the past 25 years.

Would you expect to recognize the names of guys who were hired as scouts and strength and conditioning coaches?

In addition to the numerous staff kept on board, a lot of these guys are holdovers who were promoted, as the link explains

We hired/promoted 16 guys and only 5 are black; 2 of which are strength coaches. I would like to see more diversity in the Dolphins front-office.

Id prefer we hire who is best at the job and judge by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

Why? What does being black or white have to do with the job? They need to hire the best people for the job. Look at what happens with Greir……..

Would you go to a black owned restaurant if it sucked ass just because it’s black owned?

5/16 sounds like a diverse group to me, and I’m black lmao. Besides, race shouldn’t matter. We should be hiring the best person for the job.
