Kevin O'Neill, Dolphins Trainer Implicated in Wells Report, Fired

Former Dolphins head trainer Kevin O'Neill was implicated in the Wells report of not only knowing about the allegedly verbally abusive behavior directed at Jonathan Martin but also tolerating racially insensitive remarks directed at an assistant trainer of Japanese descent by Dolphins players including Richie Incognito, Mike Pouncey, and John Jerry. This marks the first firing among the Dolphins coaching or training staffs specifically as a result of the Wells report.
