Miami Dolphins Front Office Shake-Up: Executives Fired
Full Transcript
The Miami Dolphins are undergoing significant changes in their front office, as they have parted ways with co-directors of player personnel Adam Engroff and Anthony Hunt, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
This move follows the recent departure of general manager Chris Grier, marking a continued shake-up within the organization's structure aimed at improving team performance. Engroff and Hunt were the longest-tenured executives in the Dolphins' front office, with Engroff joining the team in 1999 and Hunt in 1994.
Both executives ascended through the ranks, with Engroff overseeing the scouting department and Hunt collaborating closely with Grier on roster construction, including trades and free agent signings. Their exit reflects a broader strategy to revamp the Dolphins’ organizational framework as the team seeks to address its struggles, particularly following a disappointing 3-7 start to the season.
While the future of head coach Mike McDaniel remains uncertain, he appears to have garnered some support following a recent victory over the Buffalo Bills, which may temporarily ease calls for his dismissal.
Interim general manager Champ Kelly is currently in charge of the team’s operations, and the Dolphins are expected to continue evaluating their front office personnel as they head toward the 2026 season.
Observers are left wondering if further changes are imminent, particularly concerning other long-standing executives within the organization. The Dolphins have emphasized a commitment to building a competitive roster and working towards long-term success, highlighting the importance of these front office alterations in their strategic direction moving forward.
As the team navigates these transitions, all eyes will be on how they address both coaching and personnel decisions in the coming weeks and months.
