Dolphins Hire Jon‑Eric Sullivan as GM, Then Signal Interest in John Harbaugh

The Packers veteran is expected to steer Miami’s coach hunt toward familiar candidates, a shift many observers say improves the Giants’ chances with John Harbaugh.

Overview

  • Miami finalized a deal to make longtime Packers executive Jon‑Eric Sullivan its general manager, filling the role vacated after Chris Grier’s firing.
  • After completing the GM hire, the Dolphins contacted John Harbaugh to express interest in their head‑coaching vacancy, though reporting indicates the team is not fixated on him.
  • Choosing Sullivan over finalist Chad Alexander — who has deep ties to Harbaugh from Baltimore — is widely viewed as lowering Miami’s odds and boosting the Giants’ position.
  • Analysts expect Sullivan’s Green Bay background to shape the search, with names such as Jeff Hafley, Mike McCarthy, Adam Stenavich and Anthony Campanile circulating as logical targets.
  • Sullivan will lead the coaching search with owner Steve Ross, as Miami also confronts significant quarterback and salary‑cap decisions that will define the new regime’s direction.
