## Resource

The Miami Dolphins have their new head coach — and Fish Tank LIVE is back to break it all down. Chris Perkins joins O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, producer The Legendary Sevach, and Chad Van Horn to react to the hiring of Jeff Hafley and what it says about the Dolphins’ new power structure with GM Jon-Eric Sullivan. The crew dives into: •Why Sullivan’s conviction and GM–HC synergy mattered in the decision •Hafley as a first-time head coach and what his Boston College record really means •The ongoing hard-ass vs. players’ coach debate in today’s NFL •How much Troy Aikman’s advisory role actually influences the process •What the Dolphins’ culture and priorities need to change moving forward •And whether this is truly a new era or just another reset Plus, classic Fish Tank chaos: •Perk’s legendary Wi-Fi relocation •A hilarious breakdown of press room “assigned seats” politics •Buffalo becoming the NFL’s latest offseason dumpster fire The Fish Tank is presented by: Van Horn Law Group https://www.vanhornlawgroup.com/ CasaBella Design Group https://casabelladg.com/
