Miami Dolphins Front Office Shakeup: Executives Fired

The Miami Dolphins have made significant changes in their front office, parting ways with co-directors of player personnel Adam Engroff and Anthony Hunt. This decision follows the recent departure of general manager Chris Grier, indicating a broader restructuring within the organization as reported by the Miami Herald.

Engroff, who joined the Dolphins in 1999, and Hunt, who came on board in 1994, were the longest-tenured executives in the team's front office. They both climbed the ranks through the scouting department, with Engroff overseeing scouting and evaluation of both collegiate talent and NFL free agents, while Hunt worked closely with Grier on roster construction, including trades and acquisitions.

Their tenure saw multiple coaching and management changes, and it remains unclear how much influence they had on the team’s performance, especially given the Dolphins' struggles since the early 2000s, as noted by The Phinsider.

This shakeup signals a commitment to change in hopes of revitalizing the franchise ahead of the 2026 season. Interim general manager Champ Kelly is currently leading the team's operations while the future of head coach Mike McDaniel appears secure for now, despite some calls for his job amid the team's disappointing start to the season at 3-7.

As the Dolphins prepare to evaluate their management structure, it will be interesting to see if further changes are forthcoming, especially concerning other long-standing executives. The Dolphins are clearly looking to usher in a new era as they aim for improvement on the field.
