The Miami Dolphins are hiring Chris Tabor as their new special teams coordinator, as per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Tabor has worked in some capacity in special teams in the NFL since 2008. Most recently, he spent the 2025 NFL season as the special teams coordinator of the Buffalo Bills.

Following head coach Sean McDermott’s firing from the Buffalo Bills, Tabor is the first coordinator to seek greener pastures. It’s worth nothing that Tabor is well respected around the league, and even has head coach experience as interim head coach of the Carolina Panthers in 2023. He was also voted...

The Miami Dolphins are hiring Kyle Smith as their new assistant GM, as per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Smith, 41, has worked in the NFL since 2010. He joined the Washington Redskins in 2010 as a scouting intern, and worked his way up to vice president of player personnel by 2020. Smith left Washington in 2021, and joined the Atlanta Falcons as assistant general manager, working directly under Terry Fontenot at the time.

Interestingly enough, this is a lateral move for Smith, who will be working in the same role with the Dolphins, reporting to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan....

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is scheduled to meet with the Buffalo Bills’ front office today regarding the team’s vacant head coaching position, several sources report. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver is also scheduled to meet with the Bills on Saturday.

McDaniel, 42, spent four seasons with the Dolphins, finishing with a 35-35 record. During that span, McDaniel’s Dolphins were a disappointing 2-7 vs. the Bills, including a 34-31 playoff loss in 2022. Still, the Dolphins and Bills had some classic matches with McDermott and McDaniel battling it out for the last four seasons. Now, McDaniel is interviewing to...

The Miami Dolphins introduced their new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley to the media yesterday. A new era of football is underway for the Dolphins as owner Stephen Ross decided it was time to start over with a clean slate. Sullivan stated that he wants to build the team up through the draft and that is refreshing to hear after how the Dolphins went about trading away their picks for star players over the past few years.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

[Dolphins usher in new...

By now, just about everyone associated with our Miami Dolphins believes that former starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has taken his last snap as a Dolphin or at least his last snap as the starter for the team. I think the bigger question surrounding Tua is how the team will manage to get him off the roster, given his horrible contract and the very negative cap implications. It also seems as if rookie and late-season fill-in Quinn Ewers is unlikely to be the long-term answer at the position (although I could see Ewers developing into a good long-term answer at backup)....

The Miami Dolphins found the franchise’s next head coach this week — hiring former Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to work with new general manager (also from Green Bay), Jon-Eric Sullivan. Now that Miami has their new head-man-in-charge, it’s time for them to fill out the rest of their staff.

On Thursday morning, it was reported by multiple media outlets that the Dolphins have requested to interview Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson for their open offensive coordinator position.

Johnson, a former undrafted quarterback out of Texas A&M University, spent six seasons in the National Football League before...

Now that the dust has settled and our Miami Dolphins have hired a new general manager and head coach the team will be looking forward to hire and fill out their on the field staff as they also prepare for free agency and the draft. But what of those two big hires? How do you really feel about the new general manager and head coach? Did the team make the best possible choices they could in your opinion or should they have obviously gone in a different direction?

So tonight’s Phinsider Question Of The Day is:

What grade (A-F) would...

The Miami Dolphins will hold a press conference on Thursday, officially introducing former Green Bay Packers Vice President of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as the team’s new General Manager and former Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as the new head coach. Two of the major pieces of the rebuild Miami will undergo during the 2026 offseason are now in place, allowing the team to begin its planning for free agency, the NFL Draft, and the 2026 season.

One of the next questions that needs to be answered is who will fill out Hafley’s first coaching staff. Both coordinator positions need...

The 2025 college football season is officially in the books, which means the NFL season is soon to follow. That means that whether we like it or not, Mock Draft Szn is right around the corner.

Personally, I don’t like mock drafts too much. I once said, and I quote, that they were “equivalent to b-holes”, in which “we all have them, and most of them stink.” I wasn’t too far off with that, I don’t think, anyway. And yet, we can’t get enough of them.

I’m just as guilty!

For years, I’ve kept track of what the experts and...

The Buffalo Bills season ended in familiar fashion this past weekend — losing to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs. As a result, the team fired longtime head coach Sean McDermott, leaving an opening for a new head-man-in-charge in Western New York.

While the team has begun the search for a new head coach, a familiar name has popped up on their radar — Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

According to a social media post from NFL Insider for The Athletic, Dianna Russini, on Wednesday morning, Miami’s defensive coordinator for the last two seasons...

The Miami Dolphins have a new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan, and head coach, Jeff Hafley, in place and the hope is that these two can lead the Dolphins back to the promised land. This is not going to be an easy fix with the state of the team currently. They are going to have to take their lumps in year 1 as they transition this football team into their desired vision. Sullivan has already stated he wants to build through the draft, just like they did with the Green Bay Packers. The hope here is that with the same vision...
