"And so in a week where the priority clearly wasn't winning, the owner said the priority is winning starting Sunday against Buffalo at Hard Rock Stadium if jobs are to be kept, starting with coach Mike McDaniel's. Let's fold that demand into recent events: The Dolphins fired general manager Chris Grier (finally), traded their best pass rusher in Jaelan Phillips (smartly) and tried to trade most anyone else on the roster but found no takers (talk about deflating)."
"It takes me back to a first interview with former Dolphins coach Joe Philbin at his start in 2012. He told of watching "Seinfeld" at night in bed. George Constanza's "The Opposite" was one of his favorite episodes. To recap: George realized all his initial decisions were so wrong he should simply do the opposite of them to be right. Don't you get it? Is the truth floating into view now like a long Tua Tagovailoa pass?"
The Miami Dolphins sit at 2-7 amid contradictory signals about priorities and direction. Owner Steve Ross demanded immediate competitiveness to preserve jobs, particularly coaching staff positions, even as the roster was being dismantled. The team fired general manager Chris Grier, traded Jaelan Phillips, and failed to move many players it tried to trade. Those moves clash with the practical reality of a de facto tank and raise questions about whether the organization should embrace a rebuild. Recurring mistakes and flip-flopping decisions feed a sense of confusion and repeating failures within the franchise.
