MIAMI GARDENS — Dolphins general manager Chris Grier has been fired. Yes, the official wording is that the Dolphins and Grier mutually agreed to part ways. But Grier, who had a 54-55 (.495) record with the Dolphins, 54-57 (.487) if you include the two playoff losses, was essentially fired.

The dismantling of a failed Miami Dolphins era has begun, and the 2026 rebuild, something we all saw as inevitable, is underway.

About two months ago I wrote that Dolphins owner Steve Ross must show fans he gives a damn and that he’s listening to their concerns. Ross, whose team isn’t raising season ticket prices for 2026, did that by parting ways with Grier.

You’ll recall the Grier era began in January 2016 with Grier declaring, “The talk of dysfunction within this organization is over.”
