Overview

  • The move was announced Friday morning, hours after a 28-6 loss to the Ravens dropped Miami to 2-7.
  • The team said it has opened a formal search for a permanent general manager following Kelly’s elevation.
  • Head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to remain in his role through the end of the season, according to multiple reports.
  • With the Nov. 4 trade deadline approaching, reporting indicates the interim front office is reassessing roster assets and potential moves.
  • Grier had been with the organization since 2000 and GM since 2016, during which Miami logged five winning seasons and three playoff berths but no postseason victories, extending the league’s longest active playoff win drought.
