Dolphins Senior VP/Media Relations HARVEY GREENE is transitioning to the newly created role of VP/Historical Affairs. The team hopes to make tradition and history a more meaningful complement to current players and fans, and Greene's responsibilities will entail developing major initiatives to continue that process. Dolphins VP/Communications JASON JENKINS will become the primary point of contact for media relations (THE DAILY). Jenkins "already had been handling" the job for the "past couple of months" (MIAMIHERALD.com, 3/8). Greene leaving the media relations role led to lots of kind words on Twitter. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Dave Hyde wrote, "I'll miss working with Harvey Greene, who is moving from Dolphins media relations to a created post as team historian. Best in the business." NFL Senior Advisor to the Commissioner Joe Browne posted, "Congrats to Harvey Greene-- promoted to Dolphins VP-Historical Affairs. He lived Dolphins history last 25 yrs as their #1 PR exec." The Boston Globe's Ben Volin: "Sad day in the NFL as #Dolphins media relations chief Harvey Greene steps down to take new role as team's Vice President, Historical Affairs." NFL.com's Judy Battista tweeted, "Congrats & best wishes to Harvey Greene, longtime Dolphins PR chief (and former Yankees PR man) who is moving to a new role with team" (TWITTER.com, 3/7).
