Chris Grier's position as general manager of the Miami Dolphins is under scrutiny amid speculation about potential retirement or reassignment to a senior advisor role. Recent comments by CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones and Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer have intensified discussions, especially given the Dolphins' ongoing playoff drought since 2000. Despite Grier's long tenure, including significant trades and acquisitions, results have not met expectations.
Since Grier took the reins in 2016, the organization has experienced turmoil, exemplified by the firing of Brian Flores amid concerns of a collaborative dysfunction. Observations suggest Grier's decisions are often shared among the team's leadership, with head coach Mike McDaniel influencing key player decisions. The future might see Grier transitioning rather than being outright fired, particularly if the Dolphins opt for continuity with contracts tied to their recent roster decisions.
