After contributing heavily to the Miami Dolphins’ general manager and head coaching searches that saw the organization hire Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley from the Green Bay Packers, Hall of Fame quarterback and current color commentator for Monday Night Football, Troy Aikman, will remain working for the team in “some capacity” moving forward.
While appearing on the Rodeo Time podcast last week, Aikman spoke glowingly of his time working with the Dolphins and said the experience “scratched an itch”
that the former Dallas Cowboys gunslinger had been carrying since his playing days were over. Aikman said he didn’t envision himself becoming a coach after retiring due to the amount of hours required to be successful in the profession, but that the idea of working in an NFL front office appealed to him. When Miami reached out, he jumped at the opportunity.
Aikman didn’t go into detail regarding what position he would hold moving forward with the Dolphins, or what his role would entail, but if he continues to be aligned with what Miami’s new decision makers are thinking moving forward, his input could prove to be invaluable to the organization for the foreseeable future.
