in january 2015, the dolphins hired former new york jets general manager mike tannenbaum to become the team's executive vice president of football operations. tannenbaum started his career as a contract negotiator for the jets and ultimately became their general manager in 2006. he helped build a roster that went to two consecutive afc championship games. newly hired general manager dennis hickey would retain his power over the final 53-man roster. however, given tannenbaum's history, it has been widely speculated that tannenbaum has final say over personnel. in march 2015, the dolphins made the biggest free agent signing of the nfl off-season; they signed defensive tackle ndamukong suh to the richest contract in nfl history for any defensive player. suh's contract is for six years and $114 million ($60 million guaranteed). two months later, in may 2015, the dolphins locked up franchise quarterback ryan tannehill through the 2020 season with a contract extension worth $96 million ($45 million guaranteed). two months after the tannehill contract extension was announced, a study done by students at harvard university used predictive analytics to try to determine the success of each nfl team for the upcoming season. the study predicted the dolphins to win super bowl 50. however, the dolphins began the 2015 season with a 1–3 record, which resulted in head coach joe philbin's firing on october 5, 2015, one day after the dolphins lost to the jets in london's wembley stadium. tight end coach dan campbell, a holdover from the sparano regime, was appointed as interim head coach.
