Samson Regrets Naming Jennings As Marlins Manager

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — A lot went wrong for the Miami Marlins in 2015, from decisions in the front office to players on the field.

Marlins President David Samson says he regrets moving general manager Dan Jennings into the dugout, and the franchise has begun its latest managerial search with a new approach.

In the past, Samson said, the Marlins have sought to hire a manager who was a stark contrast to his predecessor.

“That’s how many organizations do it,” Samson said Tuesday, noting the Miami Dolphins’ coaching change Monday from bland Joe Philbin to fiery Dan Campbell.
