The former brains behind the Kansas City Chiefs football operation, Carl Peterson, reportedly flew in to Davie, Fla., on a helicopter with his friend, and Miami Dolphins owner, Steve Ross, to assist the Dolphins during their interview of former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher on Tuesday, the Sun-Sentinel reports. Fisher was also on the helicopter. As to what that means for the Dolphins' franchise and decision-making, here's what the Sun-Sentinel's Dave Hyde had to say:
Carl Peterson Involved In Jeff Fisher’s Miami Dolphins Interview
It’s not known whether this means Peterson will have an active role in the franchise or if he’s simply doing this as a favor for Ross and general manager Jeff Ireland. On Monday, Ireland announced he and Ross were formulating their plan to carry out the interviews.
Ross said a few weeks ago that he hadn’t discussed a role with Peterson and that Ireland was his general manager.
The Dolphins fired Tony Sparano late in the 2011 season, after which the team, which started 0-7, went on a run to finish the season 6-10.
