GoFundMe For 'Fire NFL Head Coach' Banner Surpasses Goal

Well that didn't take long. It's only one week into the regular season and an NFL team is already raising money to have a "fire the coach" banner fly overhead.

By most accounts, the team with the worst performance in Week 1 was the Miami Dolphins. They mustered almost no offense and allowed a Daniel Jones-led Indianapolis Colts offense to waltz all over them. Everything that could go wrong went wrong in a 33-6 loss.

Compound that loss with the disappointment of last season and Dolphins fans have had enough. Many are ready to see both head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier kicked to the curb.

So on Monday, one NFL fan named Kyle Sullivan decided to start a GoFundMe campaign to fly a "FIRE GRIER FIRE MCDANIEL." Citing years of team struggles, he requested $900 to help fly a banner in Miami to protest the team's ongoing failures.

"My brother is expecting his first born son this year, and it got him thinking about generational trauma. As our family was gathered for the first Dolphins game of the season, he asked an important moral question, "is it fair to my son to raise him as a Dolphins fan? They've been trash for 25 years, and with this front office, they will be trash for another 25 years. It was my curse, but it doesn't have to be his cross to bear. I can break the cycle."

"This is the state of Dolphins fandom in 2025. We have not won a playoff game since before 9/11. I'm not saying there's any connection there, but you do the math.

"While it would be easy to blame Sporano, Wan-stache, Bill Parcels, Philbin, McDaniels, etc, the real culprit here is the front office. For decades, we have watched quarterback after quarterback get pummeled into the dirt because his offensive line is composed of nothing but turnstiles and matadors, and the occasional all pro left tackle that we lose after we refuse to pay him.

"I have great sympathy for the front office staff. This is one of, if not the premiere sports league in the world. You are competing with the best and the brightest. It's a very difficult job. But at some point, if you can't find a way to field a competitive team, after multiple seasons of failure, it's time to move on and find somebody who can.

"But for some reason (I'm assuming he has compromising photos) Chris Grier keeps shopping for o-linemen at the island of misfit toys. If I worked at Dairy Queen and was this bad at my job, I would have been fired years ago. It's only fair to treat Chris Grier the same.

"I understand that asking you to donate money to fly a banner asking for someone to be fired may feel mean, but please, think of Tua and his family. If we keep trotting out empty potato sacks to block for him, he will get irreparably mauled on the field at Joe Robbie, and we will all have to look ourselves in the mirror knowing that we could have done something about it."
