Chris Perkins: Dolphins' dismantle begins with Chris Grier's overdue exit
"MIAMI GARDENS - Dolphins general manager Chris Grier has been fired. Yes, the official wording is that the Dolphins and Grier mutually agreed to part ways. But Grier, who had a 54-55 (.495) record with the Dolphins, 54-57 (.487) if you include the two playoff losses, was essentially fired. The dismantling of a failed Miami Dolphins era has begun, and the 2026 rebuild, something we all saw as inevitable, is underway."
"Ross acknowledged in a statement that change was necessary. "I have always been and remain committed to building a winning team that consistently competes for championships," Ross said in the statement. "I am incredibly proud of our leadership as an NFL organization and our continued commitment to the community, but our performance on the field and our team-building process have not been good enough. There are no excuses.""
Chris Grier has departed as Miami Dolphins general manager, with the organization framing the separation as mutual. Grier posted a 54-55 regular-season record, 54-57 including two playoff losses. Owner Steve Ross stated that change was necessary and reaffirmed commitment to building a championship-caliber team. The organization moved to begin a 2026 rebuild and made a fan-focused decision not to raise season-ticket prices for 2026. Head coach Mike McDaniel will remain employed through at least the end of the season. The combined Grier-McDaniel era is described as a failure in the current assessment.
