“I have been blessed to be the general manager of the Miami Dolphins for the last two seasons, and I want to thank Stephen Ross for giving me this opportunity”, Hickey said. But while most teams need to rebuild the product on the field, the Dolphins must rebuild their team off of it. Mike Tannenbaum, named the team’s Executive VP of Football Operations in February, has slowly shifted the culture towards his vision, and will now get a chance to re-shape the sideline of the franchise. “Ultimately the Dolphins and I agreed that it would be best if we parted ways”. The team interviewed interim coach Dan Campbell, however, Campbell is not expected to be back next year. “We talked about a number of different possibilities, but at the end we reached this agreement”, Tannenbaum said. Hickey’s draft choices in 2014 included tackle Ja’Wuan James and receiver Jarvis Landry, both starters, but none of the 2015 picks made major impacts as rookies.
