Dolphins' Cold Case: Packers Staff to the Rescue?

The Miami Dolphins are heading into the 2026-2027 NFL season facing another rebuilding period, marked by a history of limited sustained success and difficulty advancing beyond the first playoff game. A recurring challenge throughout their more competitive stretches has been their consistent underperformance in cold-weather conditions.

Significant changes are now underway with the arrival of a new general manager and head coach. Crucially, several assistant coaches have been recruited directly from the Green Bay Packers organization, a team widely recognized for its extensive experience and success in cold-weather football.

This strategic recruitment raises a key question for the Dolphins: Can the influx of Packers' staff help the team overcome their long-standing struggles in colder climates? The hope is that this expertise will help level the playing field when they face division rivals in colder cities during the winter months, an issue they've historically found challenging.
