The Miami Dolphins announced on Monday morning that they “reassigned” executive vice president Mike Tannenbaum within the organization but never explained what exactly that meant. Later that morning at a press conference to announce head coach Adam Gase being “relieved of his duties,” and general manager Chris Grier being crowned king of everything football within the organization, reporters didn’t ask for clarity about Tannenbaum’s new duties.
So the Dolphins reassigned one guy and relieved another guy and what that actually means is both were fired.
Tannenbaum, with the team since 2015, asked for and received something of a quiet sendoff, according to a Dolphins source.
