Can another Shula save the Dolphins – The Splash Zone 1/14/26

The Miami Dolphins are in the process of finding their next head coach and a very familiar name is among them. The Dolphins requested to interview Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator, Chris Shula, who’s last name is royalty in Miami. Chris is the grandson of the legendary Don Shula and attended Dolphin games while growing up in Florida. Based of the last name, it would be a neat fit in Miami but he also has the defensive chops to go with it as he has kept the Rams defense playing at a high level.

Dolphins fire assistant GM Marvin Allen

Dolphins fire assistant GM Marvin Allen

The Miami Dolphins are clearing house this offseason, and their latest move has just been made.

The Dolphins have just fired assistant general manager Marvin Allen, as per Dianna Russini on X.

Allen worked as assistant GM since 2019, serving under ex-general manager Chris Grier for his entire tenure with the team. It’s unclear how much influence Allen had on the team, but he was with the team through the entire “Tank for Tua” era, from stripping the team of assets in 2019, to drafting Tua in 2020, hiring McDaniel in 2022, and so on and so forth.

Mike Tomlin steps down from Steelers, as Dolphins continue head coaching search

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is stepping down from the Steelers organization, as per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

This season was Tomlin’s 19th season in charge, as he led the Steelers to a 10-7 regular season record. The Steelers lost in the Wild Card round of the playoffs last night to the Houston Texans, and Tomlin has now stepped down a day later.

As it pertains to the Dolphins, Tomlin will surely be considered for...

Dolphins need a coach to set the culture – The Splash Zone 1/13/26

The Miami Dolphins are going into the offseason with a clean slate after hiring their new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan. Last week at this time, Mike McDaniel looked like he would be back as the Dolphins head coach but Stephen Ross decided he needed a fresh start with a new GM and head coach. With Sullivan in place, the Dolphins are now looking for their new coach and Ross should be looking for a candidate that can change the culture in Miami.
