Chris Grier FIRED as Dolphins General Manager

BREAKING: Chris Grier FIRED as Dolphins General Manager

The Miami Dolphins fired general manager Chris Grier today. Grier has been with the organization since 2000 and has been the general manager since 2016.

In 2019, he got complete control over football operations.

During his time as general manager, the Dolphins failed to win the AFC East or win a playoff game.

Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Champ Kelly has been named interim GM at this time.

As General Manager, Grier helped bring Adam Gase, Brian Flores, and Mike McDaniels as head coaches to Miami.

How Chris Grier stayed employed with the Dolphins, specifically in the role of General Manager for this long, is a mystery. ‘

There were too many missed draft picks to list, along with many great players he failed to re-sign after their rookie contracts, and countless poor free agent signings.

Additionally, there was controversy and scandals throughout his time as the GM.

He had his quirks, such as refusing to speak to the media each year at the NFL Scouting Combine, when every other GM holds a press conference, to bigger issues, such as being Ross’s right-hand man when the Brian Flores situation blew up.

Grier, who brought Flores to Miami, kept his job after Flores was fired, and it is considered the biggest mistake Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has made.

It would have been the perfect moment to cut ties with Grier and start anew.
