Dennis Hickey Fired As GM Of Dolphins

He served as an area scout with the Dolphins from 2000-02 before being promoted to national scout/assistant director of college scouting in 2003. Ultimately the Dolphins and I agreed that it would be best if we parted ways.

He replaces Dennis Hickey, whose stint as general manager ended over the weekend after only two seasons.

He spent nine seasons as the Dolphins director of college scouting, after spending his previous five seasons in New England’s personnel department.

The Dolphins intend to fire general manager Dennis Hickey on Monday, according to a report. Super Bowl victor Mike Shanahan will interview Tuesday for the job, Chicago offensive coordinator Adam Gase is expected to be a top candidate and many players are clamoring for interim coach Dan Campbell to be back.

In his role, Grier will oversee the draft and personnel departments, reporting directly to Executive Vice President, Football Operations Mike Tannenbaum.

The future of Eric Stokes, Miami’s assistant general manager, and Dawn Aponte, the team’s executive vice president of football administration, is uncertain.

Some players met with Campbell, before starting an offseason vacation that came way too early for the Dolphins’ liking.

Aponte, who primarily handles the franchise’s contract negotiations, is viewed within the organization as Ross’ most loyal adviser. The talk of dysfunction in this organization is over.

The Dolphins will likely look for a new head coach, as Ross fired former head coach Joe Philbin after the Dolphins’ Week 4 loss in London.

However, the welcoming party seemed to end rather quickly as they finished the season with a 6-10 record, missing the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. This search will be thorough and we will take it wherever we need to go. My family and I will always appreciate all of the support we have received over the past two seasons.
