Miami Dolphins Fire GM Chris Grier, Retain Coach McDaniel

The Miami Dolphins have parted ways with general manager Chris Grier after nearly a quarter-century with the organization, including a decade as GM since 2016. Despite the team's struggles and a disappointing 2-7 start to the season, head coach Mike McDaniel will remain in his role through the end of the season, as owner Stephen Ross has decided against an immediate coaching change. Champ Kelly has been named interim general manager and is expected to avoid a fire sale, preserving key players such as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the future. Grier's tenure was marked by mixed results, including three playoff appearances but no playoff wins and criticism over some draft choices. Ross expressed respect for Grier and acknowledged his long-term contributions to the franchise, which has not won a playoff game since 2000. While McDaniel's future remains uncertain, Ross's support suggests he may stay on for at least another year under new management.
