Dolphins Hire Jon‑Eric Sullivan as GM, Enter John Harbaugh Sweepstakes

Sullivan will lead Miami’s coach search, a move seen as reshaping their pursuit of Harbaugh given no prior ties.

Overview

  • After finalizing Sullivan’s hire, Miami contacted John Harbaugh to convey interest in its head‑coach vacancy, with interviews expected to begin next week, according to ESPN.
  • Sullivan, a Packers executive since 2003 and vice president of player personnel since 2022, was chosen over finalists Chad Alexander, Champ Kelly and Josh Williams.
  • Analysts say passing on Alexander, who worked with Harbaugh in Baltimore, could reduce Miami’s leverage for the coach and may bolster the Giants’ chances.
  • Sullivan is spearheading the search alongside owner Stephen Ross, with Troy Aikman remaining in an advisory role throughout the process.
  • Reports indicate multiple teams have already reached out to Harbaugh, and Miami is also lining up other candidates, with Kevin Stefanski among those expected to meet with the team.
