The Miami Dolphins and general manager Chris Grier, who had worked for the team for more than a quarter of a century, have decided to mutually go their separate ways.

“As I assessed the state of the team and in my discussions with Chris, it became clear to both of us that change could not wait," owner Stephen Ross said in a statement distributed by the team.

"We must improve - in 2025, 2026 and beyond - and it needs to start right now. Champ Kelly will serve as interim general manager effective immediately, and we will begin our search process for a new general manager. I want to thank Champ for stepping up and his commitment to the Dolphins success this season. There is a lot of football left to play and we all need to fight even harder.

“I have always been and remain committed to building a winning team that consistently competes for championships. 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. I want to thank the fans for their continued support and passion for this team. You deserve a championship-caliber team you can be proud of. There’s much work ahead to return the Dolphins to sustained success, and that work begins now, finishing the season strong, evaluating all areas of our football operation, and moving forward with a clear vision for the future.”

Most of the screen shots of McDaniel last night looked like a dead man walking.
Tua did his part, but only had one interception late. The other two didn't happen because the Ravens players on defense couldn't hold onto their opportunities.

Are they going to fire McDaniel this year? I feel like he’s a good coach but Tua is terrible

McDaniel's a bad leader of men type but he's definitely handcuffed by Tua.

The flip side of that is he kind of built his entire brand and identity with the dolphins when he took over as being the guy who believed in Tua and turned him into a guy that the dolphins thought was worth that cash. Fell on a sword of his own creation in that regard

That was many Tua brain injuries ago. Now he dives on the ground just to end the half instead of throwing hail Mary and maybe getting hit. McDaniel needs to be fired so they can restart and he needs to go to some coach's "leadership" school but he's more redeemable than anyone else with the Dolphins braintrust.
