Dolphins Retain Coach McDaniel, GM Grier for 2025

Following a disappointing end to the Miami Dolphins' season, owner Stephen Ross confirmed that head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier will return for the 2025 season. Despite missing the playoffs and finishing with an 8-9 record, Ross emphasized the importance of stability and praised the positive working relationship between McDaniel and Grier. He acknowledged the team's shortcomings and expressed a commitment to addressing them to build a championship-contending team. McDaniel remains optimistic about returning, as he and Grier plan to make necessary improvements after a season that saw their scoring plummet from second to 22nd in the league. The Dolphins, who were eliminated from playoff contention when the Denver Broncos secured the final AFC playoff spot, have not won a playoff game since 2000. Ross stated he is ultimately accountable for the team's successes and failures, promising to make changes where needed.
