Miami Dolphins Part Ways With GM Chris Grier After 2-7 Start

The Miami Dolphins and their general manager Chris Grier parted ways after a disappointing 2-7 start to the 2025 NFL season, a decision met with approval and relief from many fans who had grown frustrated with the team's lack of playoff success and inconsistent performance over his more than 25-year tenure with the franchise. Fans expressed hope that this change would bring accountability and real change, while some criticized Grier's leadership as responsible for multiple failed rebuilds. Team owner Stephen Ross announced the mutual agreement to part ways, with Champ Kelly stepping in as interim GM. Despite the GM change, head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to remain with the team through the end of the season, though his future beyond that remains uncertain. Noted figures like Nick Saban acknowledged Grier's efforts, emphasizing that the team's struggles are multifaceted, including injuries and on-field performance issues. The Dolphins' fan base is eager to see new leadership and a fresh direction moving forward.
