“The jokes will write themselves,” EP said. “But I missed the camaraderie with the guys. I didn’t miss the job of GM however, so I just bought the team instead.”
For the past few years EP’s ownership group has been involved in English Football with well-documented success. With his club’s profits needing to be spent, a venture back into American football was the next logical move.
Miami’s first order of business was hiring former Florida Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach Brian Johnson. The 34-year old Johnson quarterbacked the University of Utah in college and was on the cover of EA Sports NCAA Football game.
"Let me explain the job ahead of us very simply," Johnson said. "Our job is to line up five, seven, ten yards in front of a man and run into him full speed."
The franchise’s leadership structure has a bit of mystery to it as the new owner made it clear that he would not be the team’s GM despite his successful history.
At the news conference were many of the Miami cornerstone players. Desmond King, George Kittle and new QB Jalen Hurts were all in attendance and seemed overjoyed at the news.
“We’re going to bring this franchise back to basics,” Hurts said. “Take care of the football, hit people, and always remember three is better than six.”
