Miami Dolphins, general manager Chris Grier agree to part ways

[Downunder Dolphan]

No malice intended, but if we are staring down the barrel of another rebuild, then it's the right time to move on from Grier.

I don't think his draft choices were any worse than Ireland's, but not really much better either. They both seemed to have the knack of trading up to get the wrong guy, and their speculative picks more often than not bombed.

Probably the biggest downfall was his salary cap management, and the choice to change mid-rebuild to go for it all in 2023. Did he misread the position the team was in, or was instead pressured by Ross? Or McDaniel? It's hard to say - although he did seriously misread the state of our own OL, when most fans knew it was in dire shape.

It was time for a change, and it's better happening now before he makes other moves a new GM will have to wear in a few months time.

I'm sure the incoming GM will be given a chance to bring in a new coach or keep McDaniel. Up to him. If McDaniel stays it will be the GM's decision.

It better be.   If Ross insists on keeping McDaniel, then he clearly hasn't learned from that debacle after the 2013 season that caused this organization a ton of embarrassment.

Hopefully he allows the new GM to make the decision about McDaniel, and the new GM has a football IQ of at least room temperature, which would be the minimum required to fire McDaniel.
