Oh Dolphins fans, the moment you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! Longtime GM Chris Grier is officially out of Miami. To be honest, after Thursday Night Football’s 28-6 blowout loss to the Ravens, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back—goodbye, Grier!
Chris Grier had been with the Dolphins since 2000 and served as their general manager since 2016. But a playoff win? That always seemed like a running joke. So after this crushing loss, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross met with Grier Friday morning, and the result? They mutually agreed to part ways, which is basically a polite way of saying “you’re fired without being fired.”

For the fans, this news feels like a holiday, a full moon, and a birthday all rolled into one. The Dolphins will now move forward with senior personnel executive Champ Kelly as the interim GM, handling all major decisions leading up to and past the NFL trade deadline.
And don’t worry—head coach Mike McDaniel is staying put, and no other coaching staff changes are planned. So the game goes on, just with a new GM at the helm! Fans are surely thinking, “Finally, someone who wasn’t winning playoff games is gone!” In short, Grier’s departure is like a big, hilarious statue in the football museum of Miami.
Social media reactions are equally entertaining. Some are saying, “At last, a gift for Dolphins fans—football without a GM!” Others joke, “28-6 loss? Alright, now the real game begins!”
In all seriousness, Dolphins fans are probably breathing a sigh of relief right now. What had been a long time coming has finally happened. With Grier gone, Champ Kelly temporarily in charge, and McDaniel plus the rest of the coaching staff staying, the Dolphins are stepping into a new era of hope.
