The Miami Dolphins have shuffled their front office, scouting department and player performance staff, promoting Brandon Shore to executive vice president of football operations and rolling out a slate of new hires. The restructuring formalizes an organizational reset that began when general manager Jon‑Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley arrived earlier this year, giving the new leadership group tighter control over scouting, contracts and player preparation ahead of the 2026 campaign.
According to the Miami Herald, the team made the moves official with a June 1 announcement that featured several veteran additions to the football operation, along with fresh pro scouting hires and a batch of internal promotions across the organization.
In an official release, the Miami Dolphins said Shore now “works alongside Head Coach Jeff Hafley and General Manager Jon‑Eric Sullivan on all aspects of football administration and operations.” The announcement lays out bios and specific responsibilities for each hire and promotion, underscoring a push to bring contract management, analytics and performance work under a more streamlined leadership structure.
Front‑office hires and promotions
The updated personnel chart, detailed by ProFootballTalk, adds former Titans general manager Jon Robinson and Shaun Herock as senior personnel executives, names Kyle Smith the assistant general manager, and brings in Josh Scobey as assistant director of player personnel and Jack Schneider as a pro scout. It also elevates Matt Winston to director of player personnel and Grant Wallace to director of college scouting, while moving Max Napolitano and Kyle Johnston into broader administrative and sports medicine roles.
Packers ties and continuity
Several of the new arrivals have Green Bay roots. The Miami Herald reports that Venzell Boulware, Ike Brown and Todd Hunt followed Sullivan and Hafley from the Packers to Miami. That familiarity gives Sullivan and Hafley a trusted group as they install their schemes and conditioning standards and reshape how the front office evaluates and develops players.
What it means for the rebuild
The hires further consolidate decision making around Sullivan and Hafley and lean into the draft‑and‑develop approach the new leadership stressed when they were introduced this winter. As Axios noted, their stated philosophy centers on tight alignment between scouting and coaching, a strategy that will be tested on draft day, in free agency and in the weight room.
The changes come as the Dolphins work through Phase Three of their offseason program, when team drills and performance work start to reveal whether the revamped personnel and conditioning staff are making a difference. The Miami Dolphins OTA notebook shows Phase Three is underway, and fans will be watching to see whether the behind‑the‑scenes overhaul leads to cleaner roster decisions and more consistent play on Sundays.
