Roster/Staff Updates

Chris Grier, GM of the Dolphins just got let go.

His son is on the team at App. And his other son is on the staff.

Wonder if he joins us in some capacity.

No reason for him to do so. He has plenty of money and does not need it. Plus, why work for us when he is going to get the rest of his contract regardless? Not sure what he could do for us either.

To be close to his sons? Thats a reason. Most fathers want to be close to their sons.

He could come to every game just as a father since he now has more time. Dolphins owe him for rest of this season and 2026 season so he could just relax at home and not have to work again until January of 2027 if he wants.

Even more reason to bring someone like Grier onboard (no idea if it’s even realistic) if we don’t have to hardly pay him. Sitting at home is nice until you sit at home, from my experience.

THIS is sage wisdom.

My experience was that you cant mow the grass but so many times a week!!

Very good question. What would he do for us?

Surely a person who was a scout for 20 years and GM for 10 that managed a roster, salary cap, hirings/firings, and people at the NFL level could be a benefit for a Sun Belt program.

He would be a volunteer basically ,not unlike other members of the staff.

If it helps recruiting or with NIL, no brainer.

That is pretty much what he would be but my point is that he does not need it and can be around his son without doing any work. I just don't see extra value in it for him.

How do you know what he "needs"?

The value to him is that he has to remain relevant in the industry. GMs are like coaches in that their number one priority is to remain employed. Sitting out a couple of years and you risk not having a seat at the table.

I tend to agree with both statements but “sitting at home” with NFL GM money could be a touch different than what we’re thinking about.
