Marvin Allen, who served as the Miami Dolphins assistant general manager since 2019, is no longer with the organization, the South Florida Sun Sentinel has confirmed. Allen’s departure was first reported by The Athletic.
Allen, who has 33 years of NFL experience, focused on college and pro scouting with the Dolphins.
It appears that Miami is doing extensive organizational cleaning in the personnel department considering former general manager Chris Grier was fired on Halloween, and then Adam Engroff and Anthony Hunt, co-directors player personnel, were fired on Nov. 10. Hunt had been with the organization since 1994 and Engroff since 1999. They were promoted to their positions in 2019.
The Sun Sentinel has reported that Dolphins owner Steve Ross wants to rebuild the entire scouting department.
New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has been busy interviewing head coach candidates, among other things, since being hired on Jan. 9.
Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman has assisted the Dolphins in the general manager and coaching searches. It’s unclear who is overseeing the rebuild of the scouting and personnel departments.
Allen joined the Dolphins after spending the 2017-18 seasons with Buffalo as a national scout where he was instrumental in the Bills drafting star quarterback Josh Allen with the No. 7 pick in 2018.
Prior to that, Allen was with Kansas City for four years (2013-16) as their director of college scouting, helping the Chiefs prepare for drafts that acquired players such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes (2017), defensive tackle Chris Jones (2016) and wide receiver Tyreek Hill (2016).
