Dolphins Part With GM Chris Grier, Elevate Champ Kelly to Interim Role

Ownership says the shake-up could not wait ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

Overview

  • The move came hours after a 28-6 loss to the Ravens dropped Miami to 2-7, with owner Stephen M. Ross announcing a mutual separation.
  • Ross said the team will begin a search for a permanent general manager and emphasized that performance and team-building have not been good enough.
  • Senior personnel executive Champ Kelly takes over immediately as interim GM, having previously served an interim stint with the Raiders in 2023.
  • Multiple outlets report head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to remain through the end of the season before any further decision on his status.
  • Reporters say Miami could reassess its trade posture before Tuesday’s deadline under interim leadership after previously resisting moving core players.
