Dolphins Hire Jaguars’ Josh Scobey For Front Office Role

Josh Scobey relocated to Jacksonville after 12 years in Arizona’s front office, but the running back-turned-exec is on the move again.

The Jaguars and Scobey parted ways recently, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, and CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz notes the Dolphins are hiring the veteran staffer. Scobey, 46, had been working as a senior personnel executive with the Jags.

The Dolphins are hiring Scobey as their assistant director of player personnel, according to InsidetheLeague.com’s Neil Stratton. Scobey, who played running back for the Cardinals in the 2000s, climbed the ladder to director of college scouting by 2022. But the Cardinals’ Steve Keim firing led to a separation from some of his top lieutenants, something that is commonplace around the league as new regimes take over.

This Jags departure comes at a similar point compared to Scobey’s Cards exit, as the AFC South team — like Arizona in 2023 — hired a new GM. The Cardinals moved on from Scobey in 2024, a year after their Monti Ossenfort hire. The Jags, who had hired Scobey in Trent Baalke‘s final year in charge, will bid farewell a year after hiring James Gladstone as GM.

Scouting changes mostly occur after the draft, with contracts for these positions generally expiring then. A host of turnover will take place around the league’s scouting staffs. Scobey will join Jon-Eric Sullivan‘s staff in Miami. Gladstone’s regime is parting with another scouting-side staffer, with Wilson adding the team is moving on from pro scout Rory Segrest. The latter had been an assistant D-line coach in Jacksonville prior to a move to the scouting ranks. Like Scobey, Segrest was hired under Baalke.
