"The Miami Dolphins have brought on Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN analyst Troy Aikman as a consultant to advise the organization on its general manager search process, per sources. It is not a permanent role, but he will be an adviser throughout the process for the Dolphins' next general manager. Miami ownership wanted an outside respected perspective from someone who had strong relationships across the league. Aikman brings this after more than three decades as an NFL player and broadcaster."
"Aikman's advisory role with Miami will not have any bearing on his job as "Monday Night Football" analyst this season. Aikman is scheduled to be in the booth Saturday night for a matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers that will decide the NFC's No. 1 seed. The Dolphins and longtime general manager Chris Grier mutually parted ways on Halloween after the team started 2-7. Mike McDaniel has remained the team's head coach with the team going 5-7 since Grier's departure."
Troy Aikman will serve as a temporary consultant to advise the Miami Dolphins' general manager search, providing an outside perspective and leveraging decades of NFL relationships. The role is not permanent and Aikman will advise throughout the selection process. His advisory duties will not affect his role as a Monday Night Football analyst, and he remains scheduled to work upcoming broadcasts. The Dolphins and longtime general manager Chris Grier mutually parted ways after a 2-7 start, and Champ Kelly is serving as interim general manager. Miami has gone 5-7 under head coach Mike McDaniel since the change and enters the season finale 7-9, with a 25-year playoff win drought.
