The Miami Dolphins have hired Dennis Hickey as general manager.

Hickey had previously served as director of player personnel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Dolphins had previously offered the position to Nick Caserio of the New England Patriots. Lake Dawson of the Tennessee Titans also passed on the job.

The Miami Dolphins have hired Bill Lazor as their offensive coordinator.

Lazor was quarterbacks coach last season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Previously, Lazor was offensive coordinator at Virginia.

Earlier reports had indicated that the Detroit Lions were nearing a deal with Lazor.

Ray Farmer is considered the leading candidate to become the next general manager of the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins parted ways with Jeff Ireland this week.

Farmer joined the Cleveland Browns' front office in 2013.

The Miami Dolphins and Jeff Ireland have mutually agreed to part ways.

Ireland has been general manager of the Dolphins since 2008, assuming fully control of operations in 2010.

The Miami Dolphins have fired Mike Sherman as offensive coordinator.

The Dolphins ranked 27th in total offense and Sherman was often criticized for lack of balance and predictable play calling.

"I would like to thank Mike for his contributions to the Miami Dolphins," Philbin said in a statement. "Mike has been a mentor to me throughout my coaching career, dating back to 1979. He is a man of great integrity, dedicated to his family, his team, his players and his profession. On behalf of the entire Miami Dolphins organization, I want to wish Mike and his family the very best in the future."

Sherman was hired in part for his history with Ryan Tannehill, whom he recruited to Texas A&M.

The AP released its 2013 All-Pro team on Friday, which is determined by 50 AP voters.
