Chris Grier keeps failing, but he keeps surviving.
The easiest thing for Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross to have done this offseason would have been to press the reset button with the entire organization, firing the team’s general manager when he removed coach Brian Flores a day after the season finale, which capped the franchise’s first back-to-back winning seasons since 2002-03.
But Ross chose the hard route. He opted to extend Grier a lifeline, keeping one of the few minorities in power in the NFL at the top of his organization, hoping that Grier could make the hires and moves needed to fix this franchise and get it off the mediocrity merry-go-round the Dolphins have been riding for two decades.
