Owner Stephen Ross put out a statement On Sunday night indicating that he will be keeping both General Manager Chris Grier and Head Coach Mike McDaniel.

The Dolphins finished the season with an 8-9 record and missed the playoffs.

The team had made the post-season in both of McDaniel’s first two seasons.

The Dolphins haven’t won a playoff game since 2000.

Ross wrote, “As the owner of the team, I am ultimately accountable for our success and failures. We fell short of our expectations this season, and I understand and share our frustration in our performance on the field.”

Ross added, “As we now look towards 2025, our football operation will continue to be led by Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel with my full support. Their positive working relationship is an asset to the Dolphins, and I believe in the value of stability. However, continuity in leadership is not to be confused with acceptance that the status quo is good enough. We will take a hard look at where we have fallen short and make the necessary changes to deliver our ultimate goal of building and sustaining a winning team that competes for championships.”
