First Day of School: Jeff Hafley Sets the Tone, Achane's Absence & Aikman Questions


The Jeff Hafley era officially begins in Miami — and it feels like the first day of school.
On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit, along with producer The Legendary Sevach and Sun-Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins, break down the Dolphins’ first offseason workouts under their new head coach and what stood out from Hafley’s first real media session.
From tone-setting and accountability to a more “hand in the dirt” football approach, the crew discusses how this new regime is already signaling a shift in culture — and how it compares to previous eras.
The conversation also turns to the absence of De’Von Achane, what it could mean (if anything), and the business realities facing young stars in today’s NFL.
Plus, a deeper dive into one of the more intriguing storylines around the organization:
- What exactly is Troy Aikman’s role with the Dolphins?
- How much influence does he really have?
- And why does it raise questions about internal voices and decision-making?
