The Dolphins finally "parted ways" with GM Chris Grier but kept coach McDaniel (for now).

The way Grier had been able to hang onto his job despite all the failures over many years, I figured McDaniel would go first, or they'd both go at once.

Florida is now a league leader in coaches having leverage over GM's. Jags coach Liam Coen conditionally said no to the Jax job at first, which triggered the long overdue departure of GM Trent Baalke.

It's the pro franchise corollary of what Churchill said about Americans in general: eventually doing the right thing after exhausting all other options.
