"The Dolphins had a lot of decision-makers at the media session for "Sully," as Sullivan likes to be called, and "Haf," as Hafley is called. Ross was there. President Tom Garfinkel was there. So was Daniel Stillman, Ross' son-in-law as well as an executive in the sports ventures associated with Relevent, a Ross company. And Brandon Shore, the Dolphins' vice president of football and business administration. And Hall of Fame quarterbacks Dan Marino and Troy Aikman."
"It's very confusing. Here's what we know about the Dolphins' power pyramid: Sullivan reports directly to Ross. Sillman is a supportive resource to Ross in Dolphins operations. Aikman doesn't have a permanent role with the organization moving forward. Sullivan said he had no input in the decision to fire McDaniel, whose termination came two days before he was hired."
Dolphins ownership declined to answer questions at the introductory session for new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, leaving fans uncertain about recent changes. Key questions include who decided to fire Mike McDaniel, why the timing differed from Black Monday, whether McDaniel believed he would help select the next GM, Troy Aikman's future role, and whether Sean McDermott was contacted. Multiple executives attended the session, including Stephen Ross, president Tom Garfinkel, Daniel Stillman, Brandon Shore, Dan Marino and Troy Aikman. Sullivan reports directly to Ross, Sillman supports Ross, Aikman lacks a permanent role, and Sullivan said he had no input in McDaniel's firing.
