00:00The Dolphins have just fired GM Chris Greer.

00:03You've been calling for it.

00:04I didn't mean to cut you off.

00:05We got breaking news.

00:06Chris Greer, Miami Dolphins' long-time GM somehow, out.

00:11Well, that means that Mike McDaniels is going to survive it.

00:13That's what it means.

00:14Because if you didn't fire them both right now,

00:16that means that Mike McDaniels is not getting fired this year.

00:19And Stephen Ross, for the first time,

00:21and it feels like Greer's been there 15 years, maybe longer.

00:24Right, a long time.

00:25That he's finally willing to accept the fact

00:27that you have, not even arguably, the least successful,

00:31biggest failure in the history of the sport at general manager.

00:35And let me be clear about this.

00:36The Miami Dolphins have not won a playoff game this century.

00:40And Chris Greer has been the general manager

00:44for the majority of this century for the Miami Dolphins.

00:49So what the Dolphins are now saying to you

00:53is that we finally are willing to come to terms with the fact

00:57that we don't have the right general manager.

00:59We might have the right coach.

01:02That's debatable.

01:03He had two good years.

01:04He's now had two bad years, right?

01:06Right.

01:06But we recognize, finally, that we've got to find somebody else

01:10to go decide who's going to be on this roster.

01:12Now, remember, Mike Tannenbaum was the guy, right?

01:16Remember, he was a consultant.

01:17Yes.

01:18And then got the job.

01:19I think he was president,

01:20and he co-shared responsibilities with Chris Greer.

01:24So I'm not sure who made the final decision there.

01:26I'd have to check in with my Dolphin people and find out.

01:29But this is a good day for Miami Dolphins fans.

01:32It is.

01:32If you're a long-suffering Dolphins fan,

01:34one of the gripes you have all had universally

01:37that no one has ever been able to argue against

01:40is the fact that Chris Greer is a lousy general manager

01:43and has never built a team worthy of making a run to a Super Bowl.

01:48Never.

01:48Either the defense has stunk,

01:50we didn't have a running back,

01:51and now we have a quarterback there

01:54we gave a quarter of a billion dollars to

01:56who may not be able to play that well.

01:58Right.

01:58Right?

01:59So I can't read that,

02:00but what does that say on the screen?

02:01It's about just that they're mutually agreed

02:04to part ways.

02:05In other words,

02:06we're going to fire you.

02:09Do you want to maintain some self-respect

02:11and make it a mutual decision?

02:13Right.

02:13Because one employee goes,

02:15hey, you know what?

02:16I think you should fire me.

02:18I'm not getting the job done.

02:19I want to do what's best for the organization.

02:21That's not how it works.

02:23The owner comes to you and says,

02:24look, I love you.

02:26I appreciate you.

02:27It clearly just hasn't worked out.

02:29So here's what we're going to do.

02:31We're going to fire you,

02:32but we're going to give you a chance to save some face

02:34and decide it was mutual

02:36and you're willing to step down

02:38for the betterment of the Miami Dolphin franchise.

02:41Right?

02:41You're a team dog.

02:42He got fired.

02:43Yeah.

02:43And by the way,

02:44he should have been fired 10 years ago.

02:46He should have been fired five years ago.

02:48He should have been fired

02:49during the Brian Flores nonsense

02:51when all that stuff went down

02:53about who the quarterback was going to be

02:55and Brian Flores' treatment of Tua

02:57because he didn't respect them as a QB.

02:59Today's a great day for the Miami Dolphins.

03:02They're finally going to get a good GM in there

03:03and that means they're going to start winning some games.
