But if you listen to reports out there, I was listening to Diana Rossini talk about it.
It wasn't the case.
Apparently, Jeff Halfley was very impressive on his Zoom interview, which is difficult to do.
And then was also very impressive when they spoke to him in person.
They said, this is someone who can kind of command a room, command a team.
This is someone that's going to be respected, which the Dolphins seemingly had problems with towards the end of the McDaniel era.
where it seems as though he may or may not have lost respect of some of the players and wasn't really, I guess, like the disciplinarian, I guess, kind of wanted everyone to be an adult, but that's not always the case.
So Jeff Halfway, I guess, is the guy that's going to come in and be the disciplinarian and get things back in order.
Also, if you saw Monday Night Football a couple weeks ago back in December, this is the Dolphins also hired a consultant, a consultant who I don't think had any experience
previous history consulting officially in any capacity.
Yeah, he got this dream done and that's Troy Aikman who was hired as a consultant for the Dolphins and I'm still not exactly sure what the connection there was because Troy Aikman has no connection to the Dolphins in any on-field capacity.
I don't know if he has some business ventures with Steven Ross, but Steven Ross seems to trust Troy Aikman for some reason and Troy Aikman was talking up Jeff Halfley on Monday Night Football not too long ago.
So now you wonder, okay,
Detroit just say like, hey, here's this guy that I like, you should hire him.
And then they asked the former GM or former player personnel person from the Packers, like, what do you think, John Eric?
And he's like, oh, you know what?
Yeah, let's hire that guy.
I don't know exactly how it worked, but it seems like this was someone that they got pretty early on.
Now,
He was not fired from Boston College where he had a 22 and 26 career record, which is not great.
