The Miami Dolphins just fired a good football coach in Adam Gase. He won’t be out of work long. He’ll be on just about every short list for NFL head coach or offensive coordinator openings.
But that doesn’t mean a change here wasn’t needed. It was. The change on Monday included a reassignment of longtime vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum, “reassignment” being business-speak for demotion. General manager Chris Grier now elevates to oversee football ops and the next head coach will report to Grier.
It is interesting to note the one thing Gase and Tannenbaum, the two casualties (so far), most have in common:
Ryan Tannehill.
