If you have been a consumer of locked on dolphins for for seasons plural now or even going back to just this spring, you’re probably familiar with some of the scouting, college scouting, free agent scouting, player presentations that we do at times on the show. We also get into them on Touchdown Miami as well over on Substack. But it’s it’s a kind of an information presentation. I get dogged plenty uh from folks who kind of feel like this is a little too uh college lecture at times, but I want to especially with like some of these GM candidates, it’s going to feel like a presentation of who they are. Now, I don’t have a PowerPoint presentation. I don’t have like a clicker and a laser pen and this that and the other thing. I’m just going to sit here and read bios to you. But think of it like a scouting report. or a candidate that the Dolphins could slash should explore. And you know, Cham Kelly is going to get one of these because I think Cham Kelly is a legitimate candidate for the position. I don’t think Cham Kelly was just a throwin hire that they made who just so happen to have interim experience and is going to just so happen to carry the Dolphins through this transitional period. I think he deserves a chance to have a presentation. But that’s not who we’re getting into today. We’re going to get into one of the names I talked about yesterday on the show. John Eric Sullivan of the Green Bay Packers. He’s their vice president of player personnel. And Josh Williams with the San Francisco 49ers who holds the title of director of scouting and football operations. getting into their backgrounds, their bios, how they’ve gotten to where they are at, the boxes that they check in my criteria that I’m looking for for GM candidates. I could tell you on my short list of a baker’s dozen candidates, they’re both on the list. And so these are two of the 13, right? Baker’s dozen, not Baker Mayfield. Proverbial saying Baker dozen plus one in case one of them comes out messed up. I think that’s how baker’s dozens work, but I didn’t do any research on baker’s dozens and I’m not going to give you a powerpoint presentation on baker’s dozens either. I have 13 names that kind of have a clear hierarchy that I’m most interested in interviewing John Eric Svin, Josh Williams on the list. So, we’re going to present those guys. But first, we got some breadcrumbs from Albert Brerier about uh the situation in Miami and what is and is not going to happen. And um it ties back to what the trade deadline look like. And uh I think there’s a very clear pathway for what this potential outcome could be versus other outcomes in which there’s um massive changes to really just looking to hire a general manager. But if you hire just a general manager, I think that opens you up to needing to hire another person. So there’s a lot here. So I want to read this passage from Albert Brewer at a mailbag asking about Mike McDaniel and his role as the head coach of the team and the future of the organization. This that the other. So here’s the passage from Albert Brer. Dolphins are working on replacing Greer or the GM search leads owner Steven Ross will obviously impact Mike McDaniel’s future. Cap Chief Brandon Shore could factor into all this too in that more teams like the Lions and Rams have empowered people in his role and gone to sort of a three-headed model to lead football operations. If Shore and McDaniel are on the same page and the team acquits itself well down the stretch, might it make the most sense to drop a general manager into that setup to lead scouting, be it the current interim Cham Kelly or someone else? or would Ross simply favor someone through the process of interviewing G GM candidates who would keep Mike McDaniel. There’s a lot of layers to this one. A lot of layers is code for complicated. And I know there’s there’s a lot of Dolphins fans who have already resided to the idea that they’re just going to keep Cham Kelly and take the interim tag off of him and he’s going to be the GM. This could be Brandon Shore, Mike McDaniel, and Cham Kelly, aka the triumphant that ran the Dolphins trade deadline efforts um in collaborating to decide on what the best decisions were for the future of the Dolphins organization. And that very well may happen. But if that’s the case, I’m old enough to remember when Steven Ross first bought the Dolphins and you had Joe Filin or Tony Spirano and Jeff Ireland and Donna Ponti and the great big chaos is a ladder Game of Thrones style approach. And boy oh boy do I get leery about the idea of Stephen Ross flying down and sitting in the box on game days and not being in the building every single day to have three individuals Mike McDaniel, Brandon Shore, and an executive that all directly report to him because then if the team doesn’t perform at the level that you want, who’s telling what to to Steven Ross, who’s telling what to each other about the third person not in the room. This is the scar tissue that I carry as a Dolphins fan that live through the Jeff Ireland era of the team where him and Tony Spirano are spitting poison at each other and Donna Ponte chooses sides and then Donaponte tries to get Jeff Ireland uh to to bring him around to or or brings Joe Filman around to try to evict Jeff Ireland out of the front office. is a very messy time and I think if you do it right this structure can work because it allows everybody to focus on their lane right but if this is if this structure is going to work I think there’s an additional hire that you have to make and I think that has to be the I’m not going to say the Bill Parcels’s football zar which was the title that he was bestowed when he was here in Miami for his brief stint Uh but whether it’s vice president of football operations or whatever else, if you have three equal powers steering the football operation, whether it’s Mike McDaniel, Brandon Shore, and GM of choice, Champ Kelly, or otherwise, or if it’s three brand new people, if that’s your power structure for your front office, I think you need somebody who’s in the building every day with a football background to tie it all together. Anything less than that, you are setting yourself up, in my opinion, for disaster. Because when adversity hits, everybody talks. Everybody answers to the owner. So, the owner is going to call each one of them up. Call them up to the principal’s office. Hey, what’s going on? Why is the team not performing? The coach’s going to say, “Well, I’m not getting the players that I need.” And the GM’s going to say, “Well, I don’t have the I don’t have the leeway that I have to add more players because our cap management structured wrong.” And then the cap guys can say, “Well, we made these commitments to these guys because the coach said we wanted him and now he’s not getting anything out, right? It’s it’s chaos is a ladder. Very messy. So, I would like if that if if there’s going to be a three-pronged football operation kind of three pillars of the organization of the football operation, regardless of who they are, I think you need somebody at the top who’s there every day, who sees it, who understands how all this stuff works to tie it all together. And that opens you up for a senior executive position. All of this to of course is contingent on the Dolphins probably winning four of the final six games probably because if you if you move on from Mike McDaniel becomes very simple is the general manager could come in and you could structure your front office however you want and it is risky business to say hey GM candidate we want to bring you into the fold but is a head coach. There’s already cap guy. You’re going to fit this model and run the scouting and the the the personnel acquisition element of it. And oh, by the way, there’s going to be somebody over top of you, too. That’s where you start getting a little leery about how attractive the these executives, they get one shot more often than not. Some of them get two, mainly the really successful ones. But if you get one shot and you say, “I’m going to come in here and you want me to have a VP of football ops over my head and you want me to answer to the cap guy for cap stuff and you want me to answer the head coach for X Y and Z and and potentially 53 man roster control. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll just take that other job. Or maybe I’ll just wait another year. Or maybe I’ll wait till the bottom falls out on this and then you can call me back.” I don’t mean to say that to be pessimistic because everything can work with the right people in place. But I’ve seen these kinds of open-ended power structures in Miami under Steven Ross not bear the fruit that you want. And now you’re focused on fighting internally for your leverage to keep your job instead of collectively fighting to beat the opponent on any given Sunday. Great movie. Um, so I thought that was interesting from Albert Brer. I think this is very contingent on winning a lot down the stretch for Miami. I think at least four wins, if you get at least four or more, I would say we put this into the the likely or possible realm. You run the table. Yeah, I think they’ll they’ll roll with it. They underachieve. they lose some games that they shouldn’t. I I think it makes it very easy to then say, “Hey, we want the best candidate for the GM spot.” And anything that comes along with that as far as other changes, you tell us, right? You’re you’re the big dog on campus now. But all this is on the table as evidenced by Albert Brerier. And and there was another report just what was it yesterday? It came from uh Jeremy Fowler. He said, “I do get the sense Mike McDaniel can salvage his job, but I wouldn’t call it likely. In my mind, there’s a plausible scenario where he sticks in my head. Cleaning house feels entirely possible McDaniel is at least making things interesting.” Right? So, I think this is there’s a lot riding on the next seven weeks if you’re a fan of the Miami Dolphins for the future of this organization and what power structures they go with and what candidates they pursue. And if you if if you win, I’m good with winning. I’m cool with winning. I don’t care about being right. I don’t care about being wrong. I want to win. I don’t want sustainability winning. And I think there are certain things I have belief on what that needs for that to happen. And that would include some more firm checks and balances with your front office structure, but also getting the right people in house has a lot to do with that as well, which is what we’re going to explore next. a couple of candidates to potentially be the right person to bring into the house. Wish for that next lock on Dolphins. Make sure you guys stick with us. Today’s episode of Lock Dolphins is brought to you by Prize Picks.

John Eric Sullivan mentioned his name off the pop yesterday. Uh he is the son of Jerry Sullivan who’s a longtime NFL and college coach with more than 40 years of experience. uh he from a work experienced lifer does not check one of the boxes that I really like and am attracted to in candidates which is being a part of multiple organizations. He is a lifer in Green Bay. He started as a training camp intern in 2003, but some of his higher education and background and his father’s experience as a coaches coach and and the um the vacancy that that the place that that put him to be connected to football when he was young, I think is valuable. He’s a former player in college, played at South Carolina as a wide receiver. John Eric Sullivan 22nd season in Green Bay, fourth as the vice president of player personnel. So he’s one of the right-hand men to Brian Gutenkus, the general manager there in Green Bay. Uh Guten Cous obviously took over from Ted Thompson, who took over from Ron Ron Wolf. You talk about like the gold standard pipeline of scouting and player personnel. Green Bay is it right? They they are the gold standard and and all off the Ron Wolf tree and how all those guys got bred in how to evaluate talent and build teams and so on so forth. So, he got his bachelor’s degree in social science and then worked uh in sales for several seasons before deciding to go back and work as a training camp intern in Green Bay. The following year, he gets a call to come back and he works at the uh football operations department. uh not in scouting, but just in the the front office department from kind of an an admin standpoint before he then levels up. He becomes the scout for the Central Plains region for Green Bay. Then he’s the Southeast Regional Scout. 2016 and 17, he’s promoted to the director of college scouting. He’s the co-director of player personnel from 2018 to 2021. and then in 2022 becomes the vice president of player personnel. Uh in 2025 he interviewed for multiple general manager vacancies including the Tennessee Titans Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets. Yuck. Glad he didn’t take that job. So that’s John Eric Sullivan’s background. Uh what really impresses me about John Eric Sullivan is you can listen to an interview that he did with the Packers in-house media. Uh the interview was one of the things that I was most impressed about with with John Eric Sullivan. Now he has a player evaluation background because he started out as a regional scouting remain but he also has administrative background because he worked in the front office in non-scouting capacities at first. He has coaching exposures from his dad. Uh he was part of a successful quarterback draft. He’s got head coaching connections with being in Green Bay and Mike McCarthy and this current staff that exists in Green Bay. He’s he’s been connected and worked at the same place at the same time as Azure Oro who’s a popular defensive coordinator now in Carolina. Uh and Jeff Hafley who’s going to be a head coaching candidate down the road but is the defensive coordinator now in Boston College who um was the head coach at at Boston College before coming to Green Bay to be the defensive coordinator. So that entire Mike McCarthy era of Green Bay football, he was here for all of it. Couple of young guys as defensive coordinators that he has exposures to. Uh the the draft record in Green Bay speaks for itself. I mean, the way that they have gone about drafting, not just what players did they pick, but what’s their draft philosophy in Green Bay? And that’s where you listen to him talk in some of the interviews that he’s done with the Packer in-house media and he talks about it’s a young man’s game, right? and he talked about and I was very impressed listening to him talk about uh the concept of an older team and an older team influencing how you practice and then the impact of how you practice transitioning into how you play in games. And I think about the 2003 and 20ou 2023 and 2024 Miami Dolphins with guys on vet rests and guys can’t practice and guys are DMP DMP limited. Guys are DMP DMP DMP and then still playing the game on Sunday did not participate. Um, it was pretty eye opening to me. And Green Bay has been one of the youngest rosters in football for the last three years. And they make splashes, right? Like they they swung for the fence on Micah Parsons in the same way that they swung for the fences when they went out and they got Charles Woodson in the same way that they swung for the fences when they went out and got Reggie White. But they don’t their school of thought and philosophy is the draft is the lifeblood of an organization and it is a young man’s game. You have to make strategic decisions on who you pay. You have to make strategic decisions on the health the long-term and short-term health of the roster. But you need to go about allocating a certain kind of talent so that you know what you have. You know what you don’t. You know what’s at your disposal. You know who you have that’s ready to step up and sets a certain floor for your position instead of going into an off season flying totally blind and say, “Hey, we need to go out and we need to draft two defensive tackles and a guard to start for us in year one.” And that’s a a conscious decision that we’re going to make because what happens if the guard’s not ready? What happens if the defensive tackle ideally is not playing 60% of the snaps from week one? You don’t got anybody else to play. So, I was very impressed listening the perspective of young players and the influence of young players, not just in the games and the health and the durability, but it’s in influence on your impact to play the game and its influence on how you can practice as a football team. Some good insight there. I want to interview John Ericel. In total, I will say this, uh, stand alone at the top of the list. There’s another collective group within the hierarchy of the 31 names on the GM list that that I discussed yesterday when we kind of introduced this. Almost half of that list is what I would classify as my short list with my baker’s dozen 13 lists list of names. Um, and not all of these are necessarily guys that are going to say yes to an interview because Will Mcclelay has the same title in Dallas as John Eric Selvin does in Green Bay, but there’s an actual general manager in Green Bay’s Brighton Gungst. And there’s not in Dallas where where Mcclelay kind of is the GM, but it’s Jerry Jones and Steven Jones, the owner and the owner’s son, kind of have the other influence on the football operation. John Eric Sullivan, very impressive resume. Love the diversity of coaching exposures, uh, administrative background, especially from a grassroots perspective and early in his career to understand the the lower levels of front office management. uh went up through scouting, has been groomed by names like Ted Thompson, who’s who’s legendary as part of a gold standard organization for organizational stability and a unit that puts their money where their mouth is for talking about building sustainable winners and how they go about doing so by the draft and the discipline generally speaking that that organization has used during his 22 years there um with free agency and strategy in that regard as well. I like it. I like it a lot. So, pick up the phone. Let’s get the interview scheduled ASAP. Now, they obviously can’t do those interviews right now. We’re going to get into a window where they can uh in about what, a month and a halfish. Our second introduction today comes from Josh Williams of San Francisco. We’re talk about him next here on the other side of the break. Make sure you guys stick with us. Today’s episode of Locked on Dolphins is brought to you by FanDuel.

Josh Williams, native of Santa Rosa, California, graduated from San Ignatius College Prep in San Francisco, earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Colombia in 2010. Was a four-year wide receiver for Colombia for their college program in the Ivy League. uh he worked as an investments products business analyst at TDmeritrade in the financial district for several years. Um a a very impressive pre-life in football career um history there. Now he joined the 49ers in 2011 as a assistant in the scouting department. He was promoted to a pro personnel scout two seasons later and served in that role for three years. He has been with the 49ers in total for 14 seasons. Uh this was his first year in 2025 serving as the director of scouting and football operations. Per the 49ers bio on their 40 on the 49ers.com bio page for Josh Williams. Williams directs pro and college scouting efforts, supports player development, and assists in contract negotiations. So, what I like about Josh Williams is is obviously there’s a Ivy League background here. There’s a very intelligent individual, and it becomes very apparent when you listen to him talk. Now, he was also a part of the league’s front office and general manager accelerator program. Uh, and represented the 49ers in that regard. Uh, and that was in 2024. So, that was almost a little more than a year ago was when he took part in that accelerator program. Um, but you got a degree in psychology, you got a a bachelor’s or you got a a graduate degree from an Ivy League school at Colombia and played football there. you’ve kind of come up through and you have your hands right now already in pro and college scouting player development which is something that Ray Agnu with the um the Lions previously with the Rams as another name on this list has experience with player development uh and then assists in contract negotiations. So really, Williams has experience in what your potential three columns of identity for your organization are going to be. If you really stop and think about it, there’s the Brandon Shore lead lane is contract negotiations. Player development stems from coaching, but that can be personal development and off the- field development and then the coordination of all of your seeking out of new talents. I wish there was a little bit bigger sample size of just what the performance of the organization’s talent acquisition efforts look like with him in this elevated role. I think that would be the one wish that I would have for his spot. But you look at the criteria that I have collected on things that I I value and he’s got a a player evaluation background with his scouting roots. He obviously wi with his business analyst background and his higher education and degree in psychology. There’s an administration and ability to kind of um properly organize information and make decisions with it. There’s no coaching experience here like there are for some others. They were technically a part of a successful quarterback draft with the acquisition of Brock Party, but that’s doing a little bit of heavy lifting and he wasn’t in a super high role uh like he is now. He’s not been a part of multiple successful organization, but but he has been a part of San Francisco and the maturation of San Francisco uh stemming from what the uh Harbaugh years, right? So that that’s where it gets really impressive to look at the lexicon of connections that Josh Williams has in his time in San Francisco with Jim Harbaugh, Azir Vero, Vic Fangio was there. Not to say you would hire Vic Fangio, but that exposure exists. Kyle Shanahan, Robert Salah, Jeff Hafley, Mike McDaniel. like there there’s a lot of connections that are relevant for both who the Dolphins are right now and people within the same tree of coaching that the Dolphins have committed to if they wanted to go in a different direction down the road with some parallels. It’s also very risky business at times to kind of retrofit criteria to hire somebody based off of what you had before. And that applies for the general manager job just as it applies for anything else. One thing neither one of these two guys have is the one thing that I said was my cherry on top for these candidates, which was a familiarity with South Florida. Now, if you could get either one of these two into a position that falls in line with your Albert Reer proposed pathway and I’m not saying I would take this pathway because I am first and foremost very much of the belief that organizational alignment is the number one thing that you have to have and the easiest way to do that is to have everybody come in and hired at the same time and be on the same wavelength and the same time table at the same time. That’s my belief as compared to coach has been here since 2022. GM’s been here since 2016. What’s going on? Assistant GM’s been here since 2019. yada yada. Mike Tannon Bomb’s been here. They say, “Okay, Mike, we’re going to promote you out. Okay, Chris, you’re going to be the GM. Okay, now we’re going to hire Brian Flores. Okay, I didn’t work there. Well, you get to pick another coach because you didn’t get the coach first right the first time. Okay, now we got Mike McDaniel. Now I like Mike McDaniel. Now Chris Ger’s not going to work out with you. So you’re going to go. So now we’re going to bring in Gam, right? Like everybody’s leverage points and patience points are different and I get the concern of not wanting to throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water, but the opportunity cost might be worth it to ensure that everybody’s on the same page at the same time. That’s my personal belief, but I want to be open to all of the potential avenues, including the one that many of you have resided to, which is they’re going to keep Mike and maybe they strip the interim title off of of Champ Kelly, right? But if you get one of either John Eric Sullivan and Josh Williams and you go through interviews and you interview him both and they end up being the guy that you pick and he says yes to the job and you go with that three-pronged approach, that’s where I think your higher level executive becomes very important because maybe that is the one that has the familiarity with South Florida that you need uh to kind of tie everything together. Those are two candidates on the Baker’s Dozen. We’ll get into a few more tomorrow here on the show. Make sure you stick with us. Enjoy the rest of your Thursday. Enjoy the Thursday night football game tonight. I selfishly have to say go Texans playing the Bills and uh we will see you on Friday. Keep it locked in right here on Locked on Dolphins. It is your team every day. Appreciate you guys to check out the show. We’ll talk to you all again soon. Go Fins.

Take the interim title off Kelly, and make him the new GM, Keep McDaniel and give them two years to make some noise. If they can't get there by then, hire a new GM, HC, and draft NEW QUARTERBACK and start over from scratch.
I like Champ Kelly, he has all of the qualifications you look for. He's a former player, worked as a scout and analytics. Go get Louis Reddick in to be vp of football operations. That's my dream team
Get rid of everyone and have one person in charge. Over the years the front office always hid who made the bad decisions and people were passing the buck. Ross will never learn.
No one should be promoted from within. The organization needs new ideas.
Making Champ Kelly the GM with McDaniel as coach means business as usual for the Dolphins. The mediocrity will continue. They need to clean house and get a football guy in there.
Dolphins continue to stink … make Crabbs the GM !!
I’m not surprised this is the news out of Miami. IMO much of the teams’ failures of the last 15 years fall on Ross. One of his many blindspots is NFL team power structures. He is as poorly equipped to run a winning franchise as MM is equipped to handle in game management. For all their brilliance, they seem to lack executive function skills in these areas.
How many games do we think we could win next year? We have 28 one year contracts that are expiring and less than 1 million in cap space before cuts. And you can't sign big name free agents because you need to get the cap back in line to be able to compete. Every draft pick next year will make the roster, regardless of performance in camp. That's about 9-10 guys. 1st and 2nd year guys will total about 20 or so. You need 30 other guys out of what's left minus hill, Chubb, Austin Jackson and some others. This is total rebuild. Anywhere from 1-4 wins we also need a QB.
It seems well established that McD is not an organised or highly productive individual. He will perform best by focusing on his principal role.
The Dolphins will go 2-4 to end the season 6-11.
I don’t hear anything about Weaver’s future in Miami. I understand that both the GM and HC need to get settled out – I would love to see him in year 3 without 80-90% roster turnover for his squad.
