Dolphins and GM Chris Grier Split After 2-7 Start, Champ Kelly Named Interim

Owner Stephen Ross signaled urgency by installing Champ Kelly as interim GM ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

Overview

  • The decision followed a 28-6 home loss to the Ravens on Thursday night that dropped Miami to 2-7.
  • Head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to remain in his role through the end of the season, according to multiple reports.
  • Ross said the club will begin a search for a permanent general manager, with senior personnel executive Champ Kelly stepping in immediately.
  • Grier, with the organization since 2000 and GM since 2016, oversaw a 77-80 record with three playoff trips but no postseason wins as the franchise’s playoff victory drought reached 25 years.
  • With the trade deadline days away, reporting indicates the interim front office will reassess assets and could shift Miami’s stance on potential deals.
