Jan 2 (Reuters) - The Dolphins have parted ways with general
manager Dennis Hickey after two seasons, the team announced on
Saturday, his lavish spending unable to help Miami end a playoff
drought that stretches back to 2008.
Miami are 5-10 heading into Sunday's season finale and
Hickey finishes with a 13-18 record despite heavy investment in
a team that were expected to challenge for a postseason berth
before the campaign began.
"I want to thank Dennis for his work over the last two
years. We talked about a number of different possibilities, but
at the end we reached this agreement," Executive Vice President
of Football Operations Mike Tannenbaum said via a statement.
The Dolphins are also likely be searching for a new head
coach this off-season after firing Joe Philbin in October and
replacing him with interim coach Dan Campbell.
The Dolphins will host the reigning Super Bowl champion New
England Patriots (12-3) on Sunday.
