Actually there was the report that Hickey needed to have his agent notify Ross that final say on personnel was contractually his or that officially would have gone to Tannenbaum. Hickey's done what he can to keep power, but Ross is the one with the power to give out so there's not much he can do.People assume too much on Tannenbaum. If hickey let his legs get cut like that he is a very weak man. He could easily just let the league know the Dolphins were lying about Tannenbaum role. If that's the case this won't end well
