The Miami Dolphins announced that Brian Gaine has been promoted to Director of Player Personnel. "We are very pleased to promote Brian to this position," Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland said. "I have worked with Brian in both Miami and Dallas and know that he is an outstanding talent evaluator and a respected, rising executive in this business. He has worked well with our pro and college personnel departments, understands our organizational philosophy and has a strong familiarity with the players on our roster. "He possesses good knowledge of the division, other teams in the league and their rosters, as well as players in the collegiate ranks. These will be major assets in his new role with the Dolphins." Hired as the Assistant Director of Player Personnel in 2008, Gaine had spent the previous three seasons as the Assistant Director of Pro Scouting for the Dallas Cowboys, where he worked alongside Ireland and with Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano. Prior to his stint with the Cowboys, Gaine worked in the New York Jets' scouting department from 1999-2004. Gaines played tight end at the University of Miami, and had practice squad stints with the Jets, New York Giants, and spent some time with the Kansas City Chiefs in the mid-1990s.
