Dolphins GM Chris Grier will not be fired with Brian Flores

They are keeping the general manager but not the coach.

On the Monday following the conclusion of the NFL’s regular season, the Miami Dolphins fired head coach Brian Flores.

Flores’ tenure with Miami lasted just three seasons. The team was 24-25 in games that he coached including a horrible 2019 season that was a rebuilding year.

After news of Flores’ firing, there’s obviously been speculation regarding the job status of general manager Chris Grier. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Grier is safe and will remain in his current position.

This move comes as a bit of a surprise considering many would point out that Dolphins haven’t made the postseason since Grier’s first season as general manager. He will now be on his third head coach during his tenure which is more than most at his position can say.
